Narrative:
Copilot switched from tower to ramp control. He forgot to call ground controller due to short taxi distance from runway to ramp area. Ground controller was attempting to call us. Captain heard ground controller attempting to call after ground controller called several times. No aircraft conflicts. Ground controller just seemed a little put out that we didn't call.
