I think you missed the "tel:" part in the URI.

Replace the following..

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
        callIntent.setData(Uri.parse(phone));
        startActivity(callIntent);

with

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("tel:"+phone));
       startActivity(callIntent);

or

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+phone));
            startActivity(callIntent);
