If you say "waiting for A call", it means "a call" in the general sense. For example, if you were expecting to hear from someone, but certain details like time, place, or topic of the call were up in the air.
If you say, "waiting for THE call", it means "one particular call"... like if a specific topic was to be discussed.

The first one is asking for a call, it;s as though the person never calls. The second implies is that their is an agreement that a call will come but don't know the time.

The first one refers to a generic call that you either regularly do or a casual one u promised to do.
The second one is referred to as a continuation of a prior conversation / discussion or as a specific call that you promised to do.

A call, there's a possible chance that you'll get one and THE call is that there is actually going to be a call placed .

The former is general, the latter specific.
