They're both fine, but a native speaker would tend to say........

I have to make lots of calls.

and sometimes.......

I have to make loads of calls.

Wont it be better to say "I have to call many people" instead of "make calls"..?

Better still........

I have to call lots of people.

[anupumh]

Better still........

I have to call lots of people.

Should I imply that "Many" is not the prefered word amongst "Brittons"??

You certainly should: it's a bit formal. People generally have lots of friends rather than many friends, there's lots of different newspapers and loads of football teams and so on.
