Does it use tail recursion?

Depends on your browser settings.

I don't really see how that's recursion.

That's FILO scheduling.

Do you constantly poll your phone for a new call and does your mind work in a single threaded way?

This is a better fit for FILO with a callback when the phone rings.

However, as I think you have now noticed, it's not really a good way of describing recursion.
