See this thread, you can take the code snippet from there as is and use it making a phone call w/o quitting an appication

Keep in mind that it's possible only from iOS 3.1. If you targeting iOS 3.0 there is no way not to quit the application.

NSString *callString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@", @"412-33-44-55"];
NSURL    *url= [NSURL URLWithString:callString];

NSString *osVersion = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

if ([osVersion compare: @"3.1" options: NSNumericSearch] >= NSOrderedSame ) {
    UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:[callButton frame]];
    webview.alpha = 0.0;

    [webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];

    // Assume we are in a view controller and have access to self.view
    [self.view insertSubview:webview belowSubview:callButton];
    [webview release];
}
else {
    // On 3.0 and below, dial as usual
    NSString * s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@",@"412-33-44-55"];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:s]];
}
