I called her vs I call her

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I called her' is in the past tense, indicating that you already called this person. 'I call her' is in the present tense, indicating that you call this person on a regular basis. The choice between the two depends on whether you are referring to a specific past event or a general present action.
