    Default make a call

    If I were to ask a friend to call me at his convenience; how am I supposed to say it? Is it correct to say 'Do make a call'?

    I would say something like, "Call me when you have the time", or, "Call me when it is convenient for you."

    Just like you said it!

    "Call me at your convenience."

    I don't think anyone speaks that way to friends. I hear: "Call me," or "(you should) give me a call."

    1: Hey, when should I call you?
    2: Just call me at your convenience.

    Sounds perfectly fine to me. I've certainly said that to friends.

  5. If you can call right now and make a pledge, it would be good.
