firstly, do we say: "I will call on your phone number" or "I will call to your number" ????
Secondly: When we say such words as: get to know, give to know, come to rest.... is the second part of the phrase [to know, to rest etc.] a noun or a verb? Other words is the "to" a preposition of a noun or a preposition before the infinite???
I would say 'call your number', but I have heard 'call to your number'. I would use 'on' with the type of phone- I will call you on your mobile (= not your landline).

thank you
1. Normally, one would say "I will call you". The rest is pretty obvious.
2. Those are infinitives acting as nouns. It is better to call the "to" of an infinitive a "particle" rather than a preposition.
only two quick questions
