The curious fact is that in the toast message doesn't show the "hello world" message, it shows "Android.widget.EditText@4343fa80" (the number varies). I will be very thankful to the person that could help me becausa I been all day long trying to fix this.

That's because:
String tele = numero_tel.toString();
is the toString() of the EditText itself, not the data contained in the EditText. Android is implemented as MVC, so to ge the text in the EditText you should do:
numero_tel.getText().toString()

And the number varies, because the number is (I believe) the hash used by Java, which is different with every instantiation.
