" makes no sense. " makes more sense, but the word "once" is normally not appropriate (unless for some special reason you need to emphasise that you want to call on one occasion only). " may suffice.

"Can I call you ones?" makes no sense. "Can I call you once?" makes more sense, but the word "once" is normally not appropriate (unless for some special reason you need to emphasise that you want to call on one occasion only). You may mean "Can I call you some time?", or just "Can I call you?" may suffice.

Note the question mark. Note also that the word "I" must always be capitalised. It
