I will call you when I will be home vs I will call you once I will be home

Both phrases are incorrect. It is not correct to use 'will' after 'when' or 'once' in this context. The correct form would be 'I will call you when I am home' or 'I will call you once I am home.'

I will call you when I will be home

This phrase is incorrect. In English, 'will' should not be used after 'when.'

The correct form is 'I will call you when I am home.' 'When' already indicates a future event, so 'will' is not needed.
