When you call someone and they don't answer, you can call them again later. This is called calling back. It means you are returning their phone call. It's like saying "hello" to them after they tried to talk to you first.
Remember, it's polite to leave a voicemail when calling back if the person doesn't answer. This way, they know you tried to reach them and can call you back when they're available.
