Learn English – the correct way to ask for a phone call while texting

word-usage

The context is: We were texting, then I got tired. What is the natural way to ask for a call instead of continuing texting?

  • Hey, do you want to call?
  • Do you want to talk on the phone?
  • Can we talk on the phone?
  • Do you want to call me?

Thank you very much!

The short answer is, all of the above are more than acceptable - but of course, the formality of the situation can play a part, as it would in any conversation. For example, if my boss was calling me, I might message back:

Perhaps it would be easier to talk on the phone?

otherwise, I would simply say:

Hey, can you call me?

or

Hey, can I call you?
