Making phone calls on the iPhone [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://8005551212"]];

... which will bring up a dialog in which your users will confirm the call.

Answer 2

I know this is an old post, but I'll give a different answer.

esqew approach works well but it goes straight to the phone app and it doesn't give you a prompt to confirm the number with a call button.

Try this approach and it gives a prompt option.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"telprompt://1028464023"]];

The only thing that changes is: telprompt on URLWithString. Give it a try.

Answer 3

Since you don't want to do it the way seanny94 suggests, the only other way is VoIP. Check this question or ask Skype how to do it.
