Sentences 037: Hail A Taxi, The Contract, Shrewder
He'll hail a taxi when his call is over.
The use of 'when' is absolutely correct here, however you might want to try using 'once' instead. 'Once' places more emphasis on the sequence of events and the first action being over before the second action begins. He will hail a taxi directly after the call is over..... 'He'll hail a taxi once his call is over.'
