Similar to the Drunk Dial, a Dome Dial is the act of calling a friend or multiple friends while being fellated. Usually proof is needed to clarify the dial, such as holding the phone near the girl (or guy if thats your thing) who is doing the fellating in order to record sounds such as slurping.
Marc called Jimmy while a random chick he met at a party was going down on him. They talked for a bit, and Marc gave some clues as to what was going on on his end of the phone. He held the phone next to her head so that Jimmy could hear what was going on. The next day, Jimmy told all of his friends that he was dome dialed.
