called the company vs called to the company

Both phrases are correct, but they have different meanings and contexts. 'Called the company' means that someone made a phone call to the company, while 'called to the company' is less common and could imply physically going to the company's location. The choice between the two depends on whether the action of calling is done over the phone or in person.
