Factual error: There is no way a 2001 phone's tiny speaker could be heard a hundred meters away in the belly of a dinosaur or later buried in a mound of dino dung.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Laura Dern, Alessandro Nivola, Téa Leoni, Trevor Morgan, Bruce A. Young
Eight years after the Jurassic Park incident on Isla Nublar, Dr. Alan Grant struggles to keep pace with modern times and is in need of research funding. While on a dig, he is approached by Paul and Amanda Kirby, entrepreneurs looking for a guide to fly over Isla Sorna with them on a sightseeing tour. Isla Sorna is another island that the genetic company, InGen, used to clone dinosaurs. The island was evacuated and is now restricted, but the Kirbys insist they have the government's permission to fly over it. They are willing to pay Grant handsomely for his services, and Grant, along with his assistant, Billy, agree to go along. The four and three other passengers (Udesky, Nash and Cooper) fly to the island. Soon after landing, they are attacked by a spinosaurus, which trashes the airplane. Dr. Grant learns the Kirbys are not wealthy, but actually divorced parents looking for their young son, Eric, who disappeared parasailing over the island while vacationing with Amanda and her new boyfriend, who also is missing. Udesky, Nash, and Cooper are mercenaries hired by Paul and Amanda. The dwindling survivors struggle to find the boy and escape the island. Three Pteranodons fly away from Isla Sorna and searching for new nesting grounds.

Answer: He says "The River, Site B." Obvisouly there is only one main river on Site B (the island). Ellie was smart enough to figure it out.

But how does she get a US navy battle group to turn up? Previously the US embassy wouldn't send anyone for a missing child, but a fleet for an old man off a very garbled phone call? As far as I remember, she had a fairly ordinary job/life in a suburb of the America.
Ellie's husband is Mark Degler, who works at the State Department, and it's with his connections that the rescue gets underway. Early in the movie Ellie told Grant he's bad about asking for help, and he should ask her anything anytime. Near the end, before their phone line was cut off, Ellie had heard the dinosaur roar and screams, so she knew Grant was in trouble.

I think it has something to do with what her husband does for a living.
