I have to answer this question in a negative way- Jaime no me llamó ayer, ¿te llamó a ti? (tampoco, también)

I answered it this way - No, Jaime no se llamó tampoco a mí.

However I don't quite understand the question. Did you call you?

Thanks for the help.

In the question, llamó is conjugated to Jaime, "a ti" just serves to emphasize "te", so it is still - Did he call you (in contrast to me)? the "a ti" just gives the sense I put in parentheses.

In your answer you definitely need "me" instead of "se" as you are saying he didn't call you either- the way you wrote it doesn't make sense, because se would mean called himself, which would not match "a mí".

I think you could make it as simple as:

No, tampoco me llamó.
