A AJA New Member English USA Mar 5, 2006 #3 I also think "Give me a buzz" is best, but "Give me a ring" is also fine.

Q quilks Member Durham, UK English, UK Mar 6, 2006 #5 Another option is "Give me a bell". This is also colloquial. If you need to be more formal, try "Contact me by telephone" or "telephone me".
