"By this time" or ''by then"
Hello everyone!
I have a question concerning the usage of ''by this time." Can we say:
"Call me at 9. By this time, I will have finished doing my homework."
or should we say:
"Call me at 9. I will have finished doing my homework by then."
And can we use ''by then'' at the very beginning of the second sentence?
"By then, I will have finished doing my homework."
