i have construct this circuit from bs2 book and i define input pin0 and i have put a relay on pin 1
I wrote the code:

HIGH·1············································ ····················' ON HOOK
DTMF 0,[6,9,7,2,8,9,5,6,1,8]·································· ' CALL 6972-895618 MY MOBILE NUMBER
PAUSE 10000············································· ·········· ' PAUSE 10sec for wait to call
LOW 1················································· ··············· ' OFF HOOK
END

It's always very tricky connecting directly to a phone line and, in fact, it's not legal without FCC (in the US, anyway) approved equipment -- called a DAA. For your experiments, you might try modifying the DTMF timing so that your "buttons" are being pressed longer; if the line or interface quality is suspect, this will give the receiving end more time to decode the DTMF digit.

Another thing that could just be mis-worded comments is it says your code putting the phone ON HOOK before dialing.· It should be OFF HOOK or else the line will never get the tones.
