i have this output:
output = dial ('1FUNDOG4YOU')
output =
1 3 8 6 3 6 4 4 9 6 8
(1 X 11) cell
but this is what i want
output :13863644968
(1X 1)
I've tried all sort of ridiculous stuff, str2num and the likes but nothing works . any idea on what to do to make the conversion happen? thanks

If the elements of the cell array are numeric scalars:
>> C = {1,3,8,6,3,6,4,4,9,6,8};
>> sprintf('%d',C{:})
ans = 13863644968
Or if they are strings:
>> C = {'1','3','8','6','3','6','4','4','9','6','8'};
>> sprintf('%s',C{:})
ans = 13863644968
Note that this string has size 1x11 (strings are not size 1x1 in MATLAB). If you need it to be stored in a 1x1 array, then you can put it inside a cell.

C = {1,3,8,6,3,6,4,4,9,6,8}
C=sprintf('%d',C{:})
C=uint64(str2num(C))

Be careful, str2num() will create double precision with only 53 bits of precision. If you need the full 64 bits of precision you will need a different calculation.
C = {1,3,8,6,3,6,4,4,9,6,8};
Cv = uint64([C{:}]);
output = sum( Cv .* (uint64(10).^uint64(length(Cv)-1:-1:0)), 'native' );
