Ha ha. who told you to say "I want to ring you" English is my native language and i've never heard anyone say that. Saying I am going to call you or I want to call you is fine. I don't think there is any slang terms for using the phone. Atleast not in America.

In Ireland we say "I'll ring you" or "I'll call you". I think "ring" is British English rather than American English.

You could also say "I'll give you a ring/call" ie, they can both be used as nouns or verbs.

Slang terms... In Ireland we would also say "I'll give you a shout" to mean that we will phone someone, but I don't know if that's common outside Ireland.
