IOS 7 - 2 digits phone number not working

I'm actually trying to call 2 digits phone numbers via openURL (works properly for 3+ digits).

On IOS 6 i was using an hack, like this :

if (self.numberToCall.length < 3) {
    self.numberToCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?000", self.numberToCall];
}    

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@", self.numberToCall]]];

Not working on IOS 7 (does nothing).

Someone has a solution ?

Solution

  • I've found a solution :

    tel://18;18

    it woorks on iOS6 and iOS7

    ";" is used for phone context http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt

    the phone number showed is 18;18 but it makes the call.
