I agree with aabc. Not 'called' - the person is asking someone to ask mother to call him.

Ask mum to call me. Otherwise I will call her from work.
(I think it's more day to day speach.)

I'm sorry guys, but I don't completely understand what you mean with that line.

"Would you have mother call [me]? "

Do you mean:
"Would you ask mom to call me?"
or
"Will you ask someone to call mom?"

or something else?

Hi Lilian

yes,
"Would you have mother call [me]? "
means: "Would you ask mom to call me?"

I put 'me' in brackets because it is implied, it is possible he wants mother to call someone else.

"Will you ask someone to call mom?"
is an alternative meaning, less likely, so i put it in remarks
