How to call a phone number from ios app? [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to call a phone number from ios app using: It's not working, although the method gets called:

-(IBAction)callPhone:(id)sender {          NSString *phoneCallNum = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@",listingPhoneNumber ];          [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:phoneCallNum]];          NSLog(@"phone btn touch %@", phoneCallNum);     } 

NSLog output: phone btn touch tel://+39 0668806972

Answer 1

your code is correct. did you check in real device. this function will not work in simulator.

try this also,

NSString *phNo = @"+919876543210"; NSURL *phoneUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString  stringWithFormat:@"telprompt:%@",phNo]];      if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:phoneUrl]) {         [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:phoneUrl];     } else     {         calert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Alert" message:@"Call facility is not available!!!" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];         [calert show];     } 

** Swift 3 version**

if let url = URL(string: "telprompt:\(phoneNumber)") {   if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {     UIApplication.shared.open(call, options: []) { result in        // do something with result     }   } }
