I have a bunch of names and phone# in UITableView...<br />
<br />
What is the proper way to programmatically take a number such as:<br />
1-212-555-1212<br />
And have the user prompted with a confirmation screen to &quot;place the call&quot;.<br />
<br />
I've seen reference to tel://1-212-555-1212 but this doesn't seem to work...<br />
can some post the line(s) of code that do this?<br />
<br />
many thanks.

programmatically making a call on the iphone

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
