I'd use the verb 'go' if you're ringing from home:
"I won't be able to go to work today" (and now invent your excuse)

'Come' is the verb if you are speaking to someone who is at work, 'go' if you are speaking to someone who is not at work.

Both "with" and "to" are viable prepositions here. I suppose they may have different connotations. Perhaps with is a more personal approach. If you think about it (a native English speaker) speaking with your friend feels more intimate; personal. If you just speak to someone, it gives (at least to me) the impression that it's one-sided. I spoke to my friend... but they never replied! xD Hope that
