EN: to telephone; to call (on the phone)
The OG way to call someone before 'i-text' or 'i-message' became a thing. This is what your Tita from the province does. It implies using an actual phone for a voice call, maybe even a landline! Very vintage, very formal. "Itelepono mo si Mayor."
From Spanish 'teléfono' (telephone).
Sounds a bit formal or dated compared to 'tawagan'. More common with the older generation or in formal instructions.
