You can Open Dialer in Xamarin using Xamarin.Essentials. here is step by step guidance.

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file under the Properties folder and add the following inside of the manifest node:

<queries>
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
    <data android:scheme="tel"/>
  </intent>
</queries>

using Xamarin.Essentials;

Call using, PhoneDialer.Open(number);
