The sentence with "ever" would probably be a more common thing to ask, but it's not a correct translation.
"Have you ever..." is quite neutral. The person just want's to know whether you have spoken with the sister at any time.
But using "never", the question is more loaded, and potentially rhetorical. The person is probably surprised that this is something that has never happened.
