How to dial a number in Iphone for India

Question

I want to dial a number from IPhone simulator for India. I have tried this on a button click:

-(void)makeaCall
{
NSURL *phoneNumber = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: @"tel:1-800-180-2222"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: phoneNumber];
}

But it's not showing any action of dialing any number. Please help me with this.

Answer 1

You might have to try that on a real phone, the simulator is a simulator after all and might not be able to make calls.

Answer 2

you can't make a phone call from the simulator you will need a real phone for that.

but you can simulate an incoming call by selecting Hardware > Toggle In-Call Status Bar. also the incoming call should trigger in the app delegate the method applicationWillResignActive.
