Waiting for your call vs Waiting for you to call

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Waiting for your call' implies that the speaker is waiting for a call from the person they are addressing. On the other hand, 'Waiting for you to call' suggests that the speaker is waiting for the person being addressed to make a call. The choice between the two depends on whether the focus is on the action of calling or on the person initiating the call.
