HomePod can be used in separate ways, but making a call could be the easiest thing you’ll learn on HomePod.

How to Make Phone Calls by using HomePod

Whether you have HomePod or HomePod Mini, you can access all features of Siri and make calls in the same way. However, make sure the firmware of HomePod is updated before trying out the feature.

Without touching HomePod, just say, Hey Siri, call to father or make a call. If you ask Siri to make a call, it will ask you which contact, so you can just say the caller’s name at once while making the first command.
Once you choose the caller’s name, Siri will begin to proceed with calling.
If there are two numbers of a single contact person, then you’ll have to choose one by telling first or second, or by saying Home or Work based on your saved details.
To cut the call, press at the top side of HomePod or do it with your connected device like iPad or iPhone. Additionally, you can tell Siri to hand up the call if you’re not in the condition to touch the HomePod.
So this is how you can make calls using HomePod and HomePod Mini. Furthermore, if you haven’t saved the contact, you can speak their phone number to make a call.
