voice call
Real-time audio chat
A voice call is a phone call in which participants speak and listen in real time, as distinguished from text messaging, video calls, or other forms of digital communication.
The term emerged as mobile phones gained multiple communication functions, making it useful to specify that you mean an actual conversation rather than texting.
I prefer a quick voice call over a long email chain.
