How to Say "Call Me on the Phone" in Spanish

llámame por teléfono

/ʝamame poɾ telefono/from spelling rules

To say "call me on the phone" in Spanish, you use llámame por teléfono.

This phrase is a request for someone to contact you via a telephone call. In many Spanish-speaking contexts, the phrase llámame is often sufficient on its own to imply a phone call, which can make adding por teléfono feel slightly redundant or more formal.

What does it mean word for word?

The word llámame is a combination of the imperative verb llama (call) and the object pronoun me (me).

Which one should you use?

While llámame por teléfono is a standard way to phrase the request, you might also hear Márcame, which literally means "Dial me" and serves as a casual way to ask for a call. For a very high level of formality, you can use Comuníquese telefónicamente conmigo, which translates to "Get in touch with me by phone."

Is it said differently in some regions?

If you want to specify that someone should call your mobile phone, you can replace teléfono with celular, which is common in Latin America or móvil, which is common in Spain.

How does it change in a sentence?

In the imperative form llámame, the pronoun me is attached directly to the end of the verb. If you are addressing a group of people rather than an individual, use llámenme instead of llámame.

Did you know?

While llámame is the standard, in some regions you might hear people say háblame, which literally translates to 'speak to me' but is frequently used to mean 'call me'.
The verb llamar means both 'to call on the phone' and 'to call someone's name'. Because of this, llámame can be ambiguous depending on whether you are holding a phone or standing across a room.
In Mexico and parts of Central America, people often use márcame instead of llámame. This comes from the verb marcar, which literally means 'to mark' or 'to dial', referring to the old physical act of dialing a rotary phone.
