I am new to Android SDK and AVDs and I was wondering if there is anyway I can enable the cellular network on an Android AVD and make for example phone calls.

You can call between AVD's. Run 2 AVD, each will have diffrent number - it is placed on window title bar, example 5558. Call from one to other using this numbers. You can also text ;]

In your AVD you simply cannot use real celluar network because your PC/Mac do not have built-in GSM modem (even if, AVD is not supporting this kind of feature).

Some laptops do have built in 3g modems. If you had one of those, would it be possible to route a call over the celluar network? – Dan Neely Sep 21 '12 at 14:04
It can't support this king of feature.This is what fones explains in the last sentence in the parenthesis.Unless he/she is wrong. :) – el10780 Sep 21 '12 at 14:28
