title: Use Appium to make a telephone call on Android device
body: <p>I would appreciate some help with some test automation on Android devices. We use Appium and RemoteWebDriver code to access the Android emulator, open up our application, tap and move around the application UI, and this all seems to work well.</p>
  
  <p>However, as part of my testing, I would like to use Appium to initiate a telephone call on the device, keep the call open for a minute or so, and then hang up. Is there away to do this through the RemoteWebDriver object?</p>
  
  <p>If not, what is the recommended way to make calls on the emulator? I have seen some discussion of using direct telnet calls to the emulator, but hope there is a better way!</p>
