Konnichiwa Mavis,

Thank you for asking us here.

Yes 出て in the sentence "電話に出てください" means "Pick up the phone" .

Sometimes we use 出て for the situation when you see someone who are visiting you(Friends or customers etc). They came to see you for certain purpose so you go out your room or office to meet up(face to) this visitor. Receiving telephone call is a same. Someone is calling you for certain reason so you pick up to talk(meet) to them.

Feel free to ask us any questions,

Sono

Konnichiwa Raichu,

Thank you for writing here.

>>この番号に電話できますか sounds to me like there’s a problem with the number and you’re asking if you can get through.

Yes you can use this phrase for the situation you said. Then the particle will change： この番号は(orには)電話できますか

Feel free to ask us any questions.
