Make calls from iPhone app [duplicate]

Answer 1

There are two ways to acheive this:-

1) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://9912345678"]];

2) You can use the UITextView and enable phone detection. After that the phone number will look like hyperlinked. Use the following code.

mytextview.text = @"9943586256";
mytextview.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber;
mytextview.editable=NO;

Helpful if you want to show the phone number inside a custom tableview cell.

I would personally like the second one due to requirements in some project. When i have give the telephone number in UITextView and upon pressing that will start the calling.
