Start incoming call by adb on a real android device

Question

My pc does not support android emulator and i need to make fake incoming calls from adb for testing. I've tried this line

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:123456

but it creates outgoing calls and i need incoming. Is there a way to make incoming calls from adb on a physical device without emulator?

It's not a dublicate, the answers only work with emulator – Mindaugas Brazionis Sep 20 '17 at 17:35 — Mindaugas Brazionis, Sep 20 '17 at 17:35

My solution was to connect 2 physical devices to the PC and make a call between them.
You can find their IDs by adb devices and then use
adb -s [ID1] shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:123456 where ID1 is the ID of the caller.

This is still doing an outgoing call from [ID1] – Paranoid Android Feb 05 '21 at 14:36
Yes, that's what it is supposed to do. I am using 2 physical devices in order to initiate an incoming call to one of them. – TDG Feb 05 '21 at 15:26
I still have not managed to do it. I have both devices connected, with the code above I only get the outgoing call. – Paranoid Android Feb 05 '21 at 16:42
Are both devices registered to the network? Did you replace `123456` with the real number of the second device? – TDG Feb 05 '21 at 17:05
