When to use which?

Yeah yeah, whenever and wherever.

Seriously, which is (more) correct? "I can be reached anytime at xxx-xxxx"
or
"I can be reached (at) any time at xxx-xxxx"

@chai2,
Anytime = whenever; at any time.
Any time = modifies 'time'.

I won't have any time today, but we can meet anytime tomorrow.

@CalamityJane,

"anytime" just seems so casual to me <shrugs>

@chai2,
I think there is a distinction, and am not in the mood to explore that. Hasta manana.
