incoming call
Someone's dialing you
An incoming call is a phone call you receive rather than initiate—one that comes to you from someone else.
The term distinguishes received calls from outgoing calls in phone logs, billing statements, and call management systems.
I missed an incoming call while I was in the meeting.
