The verb "anrufen" means "to call", specifically by telephone).
The prefix "an" goes to different positions, depending on the tense or mood of the verb. For example:
Present tense, Simple Past, and Imperative - the prefix goes at the end:
• Ich rufe dich sofort an.
(I'm calling you right away.)
• Er rief gestern sehr spät an.
