10 Better Ways To Say “Call Me When You Are Available”

We’ll often use the phrase “call me when you are available to talk” to emphasize that we’d like to speak with someone when they are available to do so. However, this phrase is common and it doesn’t emphasize urgency, if necessary. Therefore, we will be looking at appropriate alternatives.

The preferred version is “call me whenever you get the chance”. This is because the phrase “call me whenever you get the chance” highlights a very relaxed or non-urgent need to respond quickly, similarly to that of our original statement.

Call Me Whenever You Get The Chance

We’ll use the phrase “call me whenever you get the chance” when we want to ensure that the receiving person’s aware that they can call us at their leisure or when it’s most convenient for them to do so. This is a very polite approach to requesting a phone call.

We should only use the phrase “call me whenever you get the chance” when there is no urgency for us to receive a response, as we are essentially allowing the receiving person to take their time. This means that there is no guarantee as to when we will receive a response from them.

Here are a few examples of how we can use this particular phrase in a sentence:

• Hi John, please call me whenever you get the chance.
• Call whenever you get the chance and we’ll discuss the game.
• Call me whenever you get the chance- no rush at all!

Call Me As Soon As You Can

We will use the phrase “call me as soon as you can” similarly to our original phrase, however, this phrase does emphasize a stronger sense of urgency. We are expressing to the receiving person that we do need to talk but at a more specified time.

This is still considered to be a polite phrase to use when requesting a conversation with someone, we are merely expressing the need for the conversation to occur in a timely or prompt manner.

Some examples of how we can use this phrase properly in a sentence are:

• Call me as soon as you can, as I need to discuss something with you.
