Callable, say

Answer:

INRANGE

Hint:

Within reach for a phone connection or a golf shot.

Explanation:

"Callable, say" hints at something within reach or contactable, like a phone call. "Callable" suggests the word "in" (as in "within") combined with "range" (distance something can be reached). The answer "INRANGE" plays on the idea of being close enough to call or access, blending the literal and figurative meanings neatly.
