Answer 1

To expand on seanny94's answer: the simulator doesn't support a lot of iOS's URL schemes, including those for the Phone, Maps, Youtube, and SMS apps. This is also the case for devices like the iPod touch and the iPad, which don't have phone capabilities; before using any URL scheme via -openURL:, you should check for support for that scheme using -canOpenURL:, which will return YES or NO depending on whether the current device supports the URL scheme you're using.

Answer 2

You can't test a phone call (or any phone-based function, for that matter) in the Simulator. There is no support for it.

Answer 3

Try this useful code

Remove spaces for your code

NSString *trimmedString = [yourNumberString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];

Code for Call after confirmation

NSString *phoneNumber = [@"telprompt://" stringByAppendingString:trimmedString];

Code for direct calling

NSString *phoneNumber = [@"tel://" stringByAppendingString:trimmedString];
NSLog(@"Number : %@",phoneNumber);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:phoneNumber]];
