Phones and visits (5)
I believe the answer is:
calls
This clue is a double definition.
'phones' is the first definition.
('call' can be a synonym of 'phone')
'visits' is the second definition.
(call is a kind of visit)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for calls that I've seen before include "Visits; rings" , "An Inspector - - (Priestley)" , "Makes a social visit" , "Brief visits" , "Shouts" .)
