Si no recibo respuesta hoy, volveré a llamar mañana mismo.

Because they mean different things.

• si no = if not
• sino = but rather / but instead

In this sentence, Si no recibo respuesta hoy means If I don’t receive a reply today, so it has to be si no as two words.

Compare:

• Si no recibo respuesta, llamaré otra vez. = If I don’t receive a reply, I’ll call again.
• No llamó Ana, sino Marta. = It wasn’t Ana who called, but Marta.

In Spanish, after si for a real future condition, you normally use the present indicative, not the future.

So Spanish says:

• Si no recibo respuesta hoy, volveré a llamar...

Literally, that structure is closer to:

• If I don’t receive a reply today, I will call again...

This is standard Spanish grammar:

• Si tengo tiempo, voy.
• Si vienes mañana, hablamos.
• Si no contestan, volveré a llamar.

A future form like si no recibiré is not used here.

Yes, literally volver a + infinitive means to do something again.

So:

• volver a llamar = to call again
• volveré a llamar = I’ll call again

This is a very common Spanish structure. It does not usually suggest physically returning somewhere. It just means repeating the action.

Other examples:

• Volví a leer el mensaje. = I read the message again.
• ¿Puedes volver a explicarlo? = Can you explain it again?

You could also say llamaré otra vez, which means basically the same thing.

Both are natural, and both are common.

• volveré a llamar = I’ll call again
• llamaré otra vez = I’ll call again / one more time

A slight difference:

• volver a + infinitive often feels like a very standard, neutral way to say do again
• otra vez can sometimes feel a bit more explicit or emphatic, depending on context

In everyday Spanish, either one is perfectly fine here.

Spanish often omits the article in places where English would naturally use a or an.

So:

• recibir respuesta = to receive a reply / get an answer
• recibir una respuesta = to receive a reply

Both are possible.

Without the article, the phrase sounds a bit more general or formulaic. It is very natural in business or administrative contexts:

• No he recibido respuesta.
• Seguimos esperando respuesta.

With una, you are emphasizing one reply / a reply more clearly:

• Si no recibo una respuesta hoy...

That version is also correct.

Respuesta is the most normal and general word for reply / response / answer here.

• respuesta = neutral, common, widely used
• contestación = can also mean reply, but it is often more formal, less common in everyday speech, and in some contexts can also mean retort

So in a sentence like this, respuesta is the most natural choice.

Also, contestación de respuesta is not a normal phrase here.

Mañana mismo adds emphasis. It means something like:

• tomorrow itself
• as early as tomorrow
• tomorrow without fail
• first thing tomorrow (depending on context)

So it is stronger than just mañana.

Compare:

• Llamaré mañana. = I’ll call tomorrow.
• Llamaré mañana mismo. = I’ll call tomorrow itself / as soon as tomorrow / tomorrow for sure.

It gives a sense of immediacy and determination.

The comma separates the if-clause from the main clause.

• Si no recibo respuesta hoy, volveré a llamar mañana mismo.

This is standard punctuation in Spanish when the conditional clause comes first.

Compare:

• Si llegas tarde, avísame.
• Si no contestan hoy, llamo mañana.

If the main clause comes first, the comma is often omitted:

• Volveré a llamar mañana mismo si no recibo respuesta hoy.

No. After si in a real, possible condition like this, Spanish uses the indicative, not the subjunctive.

So:

• Si no recibo respuesta hoy... is correct.

The subjunctive is not used after si in this kind of sentence.

A useful rule:

• si + present indicative → real future condition
  
  • Si tengo tiempo, iré.
• si + imperfect subjunctive → unlikely / hypothetical condition
  
  • Si tuviera tiempo, iría.

So si no reciba is incorrect here.

In Spanish, llamar very often already means to call by phone, especially when the context makes that obvious.

So:

• Te llamo mañana. = I’ll call you tomorrow.
• Volveré a llamar. = I’ll call again.

You can say llamar por teléfono, but it is usually unnecessary unless you want to be extra explicit.

Because the future tense ending puts the stress on the last syllable:

• volveré
• llamaré
• recibiré

The written accent shows that stress clearly.

So:

• volveré is pronounced with stress on the final -é

This is normal for the yo form of the simple future.

Yes, absolutely.

This version is also correct:

• Volveré a llamar mañana mismo si no recibo respuesta hoy.

The meaning stays the same.

The main difference is emphasis:

• Si no recibo respuesta hoy, volveré a llamar mañana mismo.
  This highlights the condition first.
• Volveré a llamar mañana mismo si no recibo respuesta hoy.
  This highlights the action first.

Both are natural.

Yes, hoy is in a very natural place.

• Si no recibo respuesta hoy... = if I don’t get a reply today

It sits right after respuesta, which makes it clear that today refers to receiving the reply.

You could move it, but the sentence may sound slightly different in focus:

• Si hoy no recibo respuesta... = emphasizes today
• Si no recibo hoy respuesta... = possible, but less natural in everyday speech

The original version is the most neutral and natural.

All three can fit, depending on context.

• answer often works if someone asked a question
• reply works well if waiting for a message, email, or call back
• response is slightly broader and often more formal

In this sentence, reply or response is probably the best match in many contexts, especially if it sounds professional or administrative.

It is the simple future, so it basically means I will call again.

In context, it can sound like:

• a neutral future action
• a firm intention
• a promise or warning, depending on tone

Here, it likely sounds like a firm plan:

• If I don’t get a reply today, I’ll call again tomorrow.

So it is future tense, but it also carries a sense of determination.
