Phone vs Call ?

Hi,

This is the same meaning? Which is correct ? Thank you

Please phone me .....

Please call me .....

Please phone me up ......

In N. America, I hear the first two. I think #3 would be OK in Britain.

Best wishes, Clive

Thanks Clive

Also, please give me a call.

Hi,

In Britain, I used to say please give me a ring or please ring me. This was a left-over from the time when phones actually had a bell that rang.

In fact, a more slang expression was give me a bell.

Best wishes, Clive

AnonymousPlease phone me up ......

I've never heard this used and would think it peculiar if somebody said this.

From England

Clive please give me a ring or please ring me

Imagine then, how people would feel about, "Give me a dingle.!"?
Again, that goes back 50+ years. Yes, in England.

I always say 'I'll phone' or 'phone me' or 'ring me' or 'I'll ring you up' I never say 'call'. I'm English.

I'm typing fast so excuse the errors!
