"I've just arrived" or "I just arrived" ? which is correct?
I have some friends, and they usually say "I just woke up" "I just .. ."
By the way, when I said: "I've just called her", they said that it was wrong and the correct English is "I just called her".
Two choices are posible?
Please, help me.

Yes, Miguel, two choices are possible.
1) I've just called her.
The version using the present perfect for events in the recent past is commonly used in British English. It is also correct in American English but is more likely to be used to stress the fact that something happened in the recent past.
2) I just called her.
This version using the simple past for events in the recent past is common in American English. The listener/reader understands by context that the speaker/writer is referring to the recent past.
