Arranging pond, he called (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phoned

'called' is the definition.
('phone' can be a synonym of 'call')

'arranging pond he' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'pond'+'he'='pondhe'
'pondhe' is an anagram of 'PHONED'.

(Other definitions for phoned that I've seen before include "Rang" , "Called" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
