Call (for) Sb ?
According to this book, it is okay to say:
I called (for) you yesterday, but you didn't answer it.
What's you opinion about that?
I always say that without the preposition "for".

You can say 1.''I called you yesterday'' meaning 2.''I telephoned you then''. 3.''I paid you a call yesterday'' means 4.''I came to see you yesterday''.
Sometimes people say 5.''I called for you yesterday'' meaning (3 or 4), and, not (1 or 2).
If you want to be clear, say 1, 2, 3 or 4, and, avoid 5. You are quite right: 5 is not clear.
