I'm using Godot 4.0.2 stable and in my project I want to have a button that has a phone number as an int variable and the user can try to call the number by tapping the button; like actually making a phone call.
Here's the Android documentation on that topic, but I don't know how to integrate that into Godot:

My guess is that you would need a custom Android build:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/tutorials/export/android_custom_build.html
I don't have experience with custom Android builds for Godot.
AFAIK Godot doesn't offer that feature. You would need to use base Android (e.g. Java or Kotlin) by creating a custom Android build.
I saw that this was cross-posted to the Godot Reddit, and a reply noted that an existing (but old, 3.2.2+) Android plug-in may be helpful:

One of the examples in the plug-in is a DialPhoneNumber scene and script.
I see you shared some examples. Did any of those suggestions work for you?
Sure, you can totally set up a button to make phone calls in your app. For Android, you'll need to set permissions in your manifest and use intents to start the call. It's a bit tricky, but it's doable.
From my experience, you'll need to add the CALL_PHONE permission and handle the intent to dial the number. If you’re unsure about a number that's been calling, using something like who called me can help identify it. It’s saved me a few times from unknown numbers.
