outgoing call

Call you initiate

An outgoing call is a telephone call you initiate, as opposed to one you receive.

The term appears in phone bills, call logs, and telecommunications contexts: The app tracks all outgoing calls.

Business phone systems often distinguish outgoing call volume from incoming traffic for billing or capacity planning.
