call now

Dial this instant

Call now is an imperative phrase urging immediate phone contact, ubiquitous in advertising and infomercials: Call now and receive a free gift!

The phrase creates artificial urgency, often paired with limited-time offers or bonus items.

It has become shorthand for aggressive sales tactics and is frequently parodied: But wait—call now!
