Are you sure it is a quote from Bell?
It means something like "Let it ring, (then) shut it down... I´ll call you", referring to a phone, of course.

The full quote is, I believe, "Hatalıysam çaldır kapat, ben seni ararım. Aramızda kalsın"
I don´t know where you are from, but you are probably aware that many companies put a sticker at the back of their vehicles that allows you to report any bad drivers they might have employed. In America, it´s "How´s my driving? Call xxxxx". In Turkey, the sticker says "Hataliysam Lutfen ara xxxxx".
Apparently, someone decided to poke fun at this.
But, it´s not a quote from Bell. Where did you find it?

ringing someone else´s mobile phone just a few seconds extremely common in turkey among young people. the main reason is it is free. you can easily reduce the phone bill. when you decided to meet someone at a certain place at a certain time, you ring his phone just two seconds, it means: i have arrived, look around, you will see me. or i am at the door, open it...
similarly, is far as i know, incoming calls are free for you, outgoing calls are free for whom you are calling. "ring my phone and quit ringing, i will call you" is actually means i dont want you to get huge amount of phone bill, i will call you back, so it will be free for you to speak on the phone.
