Solution 1

You need to put this in your config.xml file for the href tel:phonenumber to work

<access origin="tel:*" launch-external="yes" />

Solution 2

Using a href="tel:[phone] " will not work as you want, add this plugin to your project by running command
cordova plugin add https://github.com/Rohfosho/CordovaCallNumberPlugin.git

and in your project use this line to make call

window.plugins.CallNumber.callNumber(onSuccess, onError, number);

onSuccess and onError are callback functions, so declare them also.
Note: If you have skype installed, it will ask you to either make call from skype or direct phone. Otherwise it will directly start call.

Full JS Code:

 $scope.CallNumber = function(){ 
    var number = '18002005555' ; 
    window.plugins.CallNumber.callNumber(function(){
     //success logic goes here
    }, function(){
     //error logic goes here
    }, number) 
  };
