Generally yes, you can use agenda. Or you can use sparse tree (more manual).
For agenda, if you customise org-log-done, you can use
org-agenda-log-mode ("v l" or "v L" in an agenda buffer). You can add
archived items as well with "v a" or/and "v A".

Just org-agenda-log-mode will show everything, not just calls. Narrowing
to calls only will depend on how you define a todo, which is a call.

If you use something like PHONE or CALL todo keywords, it might be
slightly tricky. You will need to customise org-todo-keywords, so that
your CALL->DONE changes are recorded (see the org-todo-keywords
docstring). You will also need to filter displayed items in agenda by
regexp involving the keyword you use to define the call.

An easier way could be marking your calls with a tag. Then, you can
filter your org-agenda-log by that tag to show only calls.

Hope it helps.

Best,
