10 Better Ways to Say “Hop on a Call” (Formal Synonyms)

“Hop on a call” is a fairly uncommon informal phrase you might hear. It works just as well as saying, “join a call.” This article will give you some good alternatives that work better in formal situations. You’ll have plenty of options to choose from here.

The preferred synonyms are “let’s have a quick call,” “let’s discuss this over the phone,” and “let’s have a phone call.” These are the simplest (yet most effective) ways to be polite and formal when asking someone to join a phone call. They work well in many business settings.

Let’s Have A Quick Call

“Let’s have a quick call” is a decent choice as a formal alternative. It works well because it shows that you want to keep things “quick” and light.

Would You Be Able To Join This Call?

“Would you be able to join this call?” is a good choice if the call has already started. If you think it might be beneficial for someone to join the call (i.e. a conference call), then you could ask this question.

• Would you be able to join this call? We need all of the managers on the line to talk about the new changes coming to the company.

“Would you like to have a call?” is another good question-based alternative. It shows that you’re willing to talk to someone on the phone, but you would like them to confirm that they’re okay with that happening.

Generally, asking this question gets a simple “Yes” or “No” response. Once they’ve responded, you can determine what time you’d like to have the call and what you’d like to talk about.

We Should Discuss This Over A Call

“We should discuss this over a call” is a good way to show that something is important to talk about over a call. If you have previously been emailing or messaging someone, this might be a good one to use.

The implication here is that the emails are not enough. If you don’t feel like you’re getting productive communication out of the emails, you can use this phrase to show that you would rather have a phone call.

Let’s Discuss This At

“Let’s discuss this at” is a great way to be more specific about when you want to call someone. It doesn’t state that you want to have a phone call directly, though. Instead, it just says you’d like to have a discussion.

If you want to include the phone call in the sentence, it’s best to include that after. It will allow you to tell someone the method with which you’d like to communicate.

• Let’s discuss this at twelve. That’s when I go on my break, so it’s the best time for us to have a phone call about this.

Are You Free For A Call At

“Are you free for a call at” is another great alternative to be more specific about the time of the call. This time, a “call” is mentioned to show that you’d like to discuss matters further over the phone.

• Are you free for a call at six? I would love to get to know more about your idea. It would help me to estimate funding for it.
• Are you free for a call at seven or later? We should figure out a good time for us to discuss matters. It shouldn’t be left too long.
• Are you free for a call at five? My boss would like to be included in the call, so we will have it as a conference if that works.

I Think We Should Have A Conversation

“I think we should have a conversation” is a great choice if you think you’re not getting much out of your current method of conversation. For example, if you’re emailing someone, you could use this phrase to show that you want to take it to a phone call.

While a “call” is not mentioned here, it is implied. You might also use this phrase to refer to a one-on-one meeting. It depends on the context of what you’re asking for.

• I think we should have a conversation about this. It’s only a matter of time before it starts to get slightly sour.
