# Making Calls Using Your Contact List

To call one of your [Contacts](https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/204203751), open the contact and click on Call:

You can also start a phone call from your account by clicking the **Call** button at the top left in your **My telephony** part.

With the **Call** button, calls can be made from one of your connected VoIP phones or from an external device of your choice:

* **Call number:** Enter the number you wish to call.
* **With the device:** choose which phone the call will be made with

Your phone will then ring. When you answer your phone, the phone number you entered under **Call number** will be called.

Or select an entry in your **Event List** and click the blue Call button.

No matter how you initiate a call (via **Contacts**, **Event List**, etc.), you will be asked to choose which device you'd like to use to call that number.
