Narrative:
After landing on runway 26R (atl) and clearing runway, we were told to hold short of runway 26L. We acknowledged the hold short instructions, but our call sign and radio xmissions were partially blocked twice. On the third time, we acknowledged our hold short instructions. We were then given 'aircraft X, cross runway 26L,' which we acknowledged. Aircraft Y and aircraft Z also crossed at the same time. After crossing runway 26L, tower told us we had taken the crossing clearance of another aircraft. We felt we had been given clearance to cross the runway. There was no conflict since 2 other aircraft were also crossing at other taxi points.
