Short answer: Not by itself. Perplexity is very good at finding the right business and its number, but we found no way for it to ring it. On Pro, Max and Enterprise plans you can add a custom remote connector, and with OsmO connected Perplexity can go from "here are three plumbers near you" to actually calling them and asking who can come tomorrow.
We found no built-in calling in Perplexity.
Custom connectors are on Pro, Max and Enterprise: Plugins → Add custom → Add MCP connector → Remote.
OsmO signs Perplexity in with OAuth, with no client ID to copy.
Ask for up to five businesses in one request and compare the answers.

Research, then call
This is where Perplexity and a phone fit together best. Many small businesses publish a number and little else, so the answer to "can you come tomorrow" or "do you have it in stock" is only on the phone. Let Perplexity shortlist, then let OsmO call the shortlist. Each answered call uses 3 credits and unanswered ones are free.
What it costs
OsmO For my AI starts with 50 free credits when you sign in with your mobile number, with no card. An answered call uses 3 credits however long it lasts, and a call nobody answers is free, so the free credits cover about 16 answered calls. When they run out you can keep calling from the OsmO app.
