会 has the meaning of "can, be able to, will". In this sentence, 会=will
打电话is a phrase, means "call sb., make a phonecall to sb."

The sentence can be segmented as follows:
我 I
会 will
打电话 make a phone call
给 to
他 him
While 给 generally means "give", it works like "to" to indicate the recipient in the following fixed expressions:
打电话给他(call him by phone")
写信给他(write him a letter)
寄信给他(send him a letter)
发电邮给他(send him an email)
发短讯给他(text him)
发传真给他(fax him)

"會" means "will"
"打" usually means "to heat"
"打電話" is a collocation, means "call"

汉语的“会”不能等同于will。”会“的这种助动词用法来自”能“的意思,而will是来自”愿意“。
