I will call you up first thing in the morning

Is this sentence correct? If you think it is correct then what actually it means "I will call you up first thing in the morning"?

Where did you see this image? Can you explain what you think it is supposed to mean? Who is that woman? Is this an ad? Or part of a video lesson?

As far as the sentence is concerned, there's no apparent need for the word up. The sentence expresses a simple intention by the speaker to make a phone call to the listener early the next day.

It's a part of a YouTube video lesson. This woman was giving some example sentences of Future Indefinite tense. I think she meant that the first thing she would do in the morning is to call someone.

Some BrE speakers use "call up" to mean the same as "call", but only in the context of telephoning someone.

American English speakers do the same.

I'm not so sure. I think there's a subtle difference in use between them.
