When to use which
When do I use 전화하다 and when do I use 전화를 걸다?
Their definitions seem similar(at least in my book). Are these interchangeable or is one used for one thing and the other one is used for another thing?

Please help me. Thank you! ^^

Answer

전화를 걸다 means 'give a call'.
전화하다 has both meaning of 'give a call' or 'on the phone'.
For the meaning of 'give a call', you can use both as same. 전화하다 is used more often.
