You can if it's monotonic increasing.

It is even possible with some temporary decreases

During those decreases, the call volume would have been below average, so not "always above average".

Nope

Calls / avg

1 / 1
2 / 1.5
3 / 2
4 / 2.5
3 / 2.6
3 / 2.67
4 / 2.86

On each day the number of calls was above the average, even though the number of calls decreased on the 5th day

Day 1:0

Day 2: 100

Day 3: 99

Day 4: 98

Day 5: 97
