i want to know which you should say, which is the proper way of telling someone that you will always be there whenever they call.

"Call for me" vs "Call on me" #2 (permalink) Fri Aug 15, 2008 3:48 am   "Call for me" vs "Call on me"
 

Here is how I see it

"To call on" means something along the lines of "to summon" or "to bring forth". I don't think this is what you would want.

"Call for me" is probably better. It means something like "call me whenever you can/need"

Of course, the best thing would probably be to just say "Call me". That covers everything, I believe.

I also apologize that it is kind of difficult to explain what I mean Razz I hope you understood!

Hi,

Probably the commonest expression would be: Call me any time.
