Phone

Used as a verb, the word "phone" simply means talked on the phone.

Instead of telling somebody "call me", the phrase "phone me" is more precise. You can call somebody on the phone, but that doesn't mean they answered and you talked with them. Telling somebody to phone them means you want themt to talk to you on the phone.
