Call from individual on the outskirts of Plymouth (5)
I believe the answer is:
phone
'call' is the definition.
(phone can mean to call by telephone)
'individual on the outskirts of plymouth' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the outskirts of' means to remove the middle letters (letters on the edges or outskirts are used).
'plymouth' with its middle taken out is 'ph'.
'one' after 'ph' is 'PHONE'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for phone that I've seen before include "Short piece of electronic equipment" , "Call, ring" , "Communications device" , "Call; eg, mobile" , "It converts sounds into signals and back again" .)
