Ok! I finally figure it out!
Although I didn't really understand why it worked but using the
following code symbols like # are passing to DIAL & CALL Action.
String uri = "**21*306935160000000#"; // ##21#
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); // ACTION_CALL
Uri uri2 = Uri.fromParts("tel", uri, "#");
intent.setData(uri2);
startActivity(intent);
