This statement is false. Maria says that they met last year. She goes on to say that Philip told her to call him if ever she visited San Francisco. This indicates that Philip and Maria probably met just once, or only for a brief period, and that they don't know each other very well.
Maria tells Philip (on his voice mail) that she is "in town until Tuesday", which means that she will stay in San Francisco until Tuesday. We can assume that Maria will be leaving San Francisco on Tuesday. The term "until" has many uses, but here it is used to introduce a period of time: Maria will be in San Francisco "up to" Tuesday.
This is a true statement. Maria has reached Philip's voice mail because he is not in his office. Philip is "unavailable", and says this in his outgoing message. "To be available (to speak with someone)" is to have the time and willingness to speak with them.
This statement is false. Maria says that she met Philip in Miami, but that she is presently in San Francisco.

This statement is true. Icarus tells Jean that paper "keeps getting stuck" in his printer, and that the printer is "jammed". The terms "stuck" and "jammed" both refer to a blockage (of the printer) in this context. The construction "to keep (getting stuck)" indicates that the paper getting stuck happens often. The verb "to keep" or "to keep on" is always directly followed by another verb in the ING form.
This statement is false. Jean will not attend the party because he has family in town. Icarus reacts to this news by saying "I didn't think so. Just my luck." This statement expresses Icarus' disappointment. The idiom "(that's) just my luck" is used when an action or event confirms the speaker's impression that he is unfortunate or unlucky.
This is false. Jean tells Icarus that he will take the printer with him, and "contact" Icarus in 6 to 8 weeks. Jean will give Icarus an update on the printer in that time: he makes no promise of fixing it!
This statement is true. When Icarus asks Jean if he is free this evening to attend his birthday celebration, Jean replies that his cousins are in San Francisco, and that he will dine with them this evening. The expression "(my family is) in town" indicates that the family is visiting the town or city in which the speaker lives (in this case San Francisco).
This is a true statement. After Icarus asks Jean if he can help him, Jean explains that Bob "asked (him) to come and check the printer", which isn't working properly. Jean was sent by Bob to look at Icarus' printer.
