@63026ca2 “Call you back” and “get back to you” can mean the same, but the latter can also mean you’ll give them an answer sometime in the future.
For example:
Wanna go to the movies tomorrow night?
I might be busy, so I’ll have to get back to you on that.
“Call you back” can’t be used this way, but in regards to a phone call, they mean the same.
“Return your call” is the same as “call you back”, but it’s more formal. You’d be more likely to hear it from an employee or some service that is calling you back or leaving a voice message.
