If you’ve enabled developer mode and made your phone writable, you can
install url-dispatcher-tools (`sudo apt-get install
url-dispatcher-tools`), and from the shell just execute:

    url-dispatcher tel:+3212346789

Note that this will open the dialer and dial the number, but it won’t
automatically initiate the call, you’ll still have to press the green
button.
