Calling a nearby borne has saved my colleagues more than once when they were running late and G7's main number wasn't answering or had no taxis available. I only call G7 by phone when I have plenty of time to spare, because (a) it takes forever to get through their phone tree, and (b) all too often they have no taxis available.
That said, some bornes rarely have taxis present or only at certain times of day, so I would definitely try something else if there were no response right away. I've been happy with Le Cab. I haven't tried Uber but know other people who use it regularly in Paris.
