This small python library is meant to be installed within an android phone to make phone calls in a terminal.

Requirements

Within your android phone:

• Install F-droid directly from their website: https://www.f-droid.org/
• Activate the archive repository option on the known repositories menu
• Download the latest version of termux from F-droid
• Download termux-api version 0.31 from F-droid (latest version which gives access to both sms and call api)

Once you open the termux application, run on the terminal:

  $ pkg update
  $ pkg upgrade
  $ pkg install termux-api
  $ git clone https://github.com/lahloug/termux_call.git
  $ cd termux_call
  $ pip install -e .
  $ echo 'eval "$(register-python-argcomplete termux-call)"' >> ~/.bashrc

Now, you can call anyone on your contact book from your terminal!

 $ termux-call person_name

Beware, phone charges incur as usual.
