get back to: meaning and explanation

We use the phrasal verb to get back to someone to mean that we will contact or talk to somebody again at a future time.

This might be because we are unable to speak to someone at that time, or because we need to wait a while before doing it. This might be because we are unavailable, e.g. I'm busy at the moment. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

It could also be because we need some time to think or prepare, e.g. I don't have the figures with me at the moment. Can I get back to you tomorrow?
