If you want to do it in a single statement you can use:

String strOutput = inString.replace("call me","cm").replace("as soon as possible","asap");

Alternatively, if you have many such replacements, it might be wiser to store them in some kind of data structure such as a 2d-array. For example:

//array to hold replacements
String[][] replacements = {{"call me", "cm"}, 
                           {"as soon as possible", "asap"}};

//loop over the array and replace
String strOutput = inString;
for(String[] replacement: replacements) {
    strOutput = strOutput.replace(replacement[0], replacement[1]);
}

System.out.println(strOutput);
