To just open the dialer app (the user has to press the call button inside the dialer app; no additional permissions needed) use:

String number = "7777777777";
Uri call = Uri.parse("tel:" + number);             
Intent surf = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, call); 
startActivity(surf);

To open the dialer app and do the call automatically (needs android.permission.CALL_PHONE) use:

String number = "7777777777";
Uri call = Uri.parse("tel:" + number);             
Intent surf = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, call); 
startActivity(surf);
