you can launch the dialler, by first finding the package using

adb shell dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus'

then launching it using

adb shell monkey -p <package> 1 (probably com.android.contacts)

ensure you're on the dialler and not the contacts page by clicking the coordinates of the dialler

adb shell input tap <x> <y> (in my case 65, 80)

type the number

adb shell input text <number>

and then hit the dial coordinates

adb shell input tap <x> <y> (in my case 220, 750)

For sure this answer is overkill. However, all of the previous answers i've encountered will then launch a dialog asking which application you wish to use to complete the action - skype, viber, etc., meaning if you have either not chosen a default dialler but have ott calling apps installed, or else have specified an alternative default dialler, the call will not be made over gsm. This method will ensure that gsm is used.

You can do this one by:

  1. Enter into your adb in cmd
  2. Enter adb devices. What ever id you will get that will be you device number
  3. Enter (Without quotes):
adb -s "Your devices number" shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:"phone no. to call"

That's it and you will get the response as:

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxxxxxxxxx }

You should do (replace <serialno> by the serial number of your device or emulator, for example emulator-5554):

$ adb -s <serialno> shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:555-5555

and see this in the logcat:

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxx-xxx-xxxx }

On some Android devices, there exists an executable

/system/bin/radiooptions

If you run it, the help dislplays

Usage: radiooptions [option] [extra_socket_args]
           0 - RADIO_RESET, 
           1 - RADIO_OFF, 
           2 - UNSOL_NETWORK_STATE_CHANGE, 
           3 - QXDM_ENABLE, 
           4 - QXDM_DISABLE, 
           5 - RADIO_ON, 
           6 apn- SETUP_PDP apn, 
           7 - DEACTIVE_PDP, 
           8 number - DIAL_CALL number, 
           9 - ANSWER_CALL, 
           10 - END_CALL

For dialing a number, you can simply run 

adb shell su -c "radiooptions 8 XXXXXXX"

where XXXXXXX is to be replaced by the phonenumber.

I saw this command on quite many HTC devices. I run currently a Cyanogenmod 10.2 on an HTC One, and there it is as well. It could also be possible, that it is only available on devices with a Qualcomm radio chip.
