Is the second sentence idiomatic?

I need someone I can call at 3 am

Can I write the above sentence This way:

I need someone to call at 3 am (Dont know but it doesn't sound okay to me)

Btw I'm not a native speaker

Your way of saying it is OK, but people might think that you need someone to call you at 3 am, therefore you should say "I need someone (whom) I can call at 3 am.
