I'd say "I'll call you on your cell."

You could request a call this way:
"Please call me at 567-1345."

In other words, I would call someone on a phone but I would call someone at a phone number.

Quote:
1) I'll call you on your mobile. OK
2) I'll call you at your mobile. I would not use 'at'.
3) I'll call you to your mobile. No.
4) Please call me on this number. I'd use 'at', not 'on'.
5) Please call me to this number. No.
6) Please call me over this number. No.
