At which time.
'At' just collocates with times. We say 'at 3pm' 'at half past nine' 'at 15.00' and so on. So, even in a question, we use 'at'.

I think she's talking about native speaker of english. By the way: 1) can I say "at what time should I call you". 2) And if I say "I got to be on time for X". Is that the only case the word on is used to refer to time?

Hi Sofia,
1) I'd rather say 'What time should I call you?' but not quite sure if yours is right or wrong.
2)'To be on time' is an expression.You can also use 'on' with days and when referring to a definite time. For instance; on Monday, on January 20,1980.
