Call a GSM Service #123*

Question

I want to call a GSM-Servicenumber of my provider, but the iPhone won't give a reaction. When I try the same with a regular number it works.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
                openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:#123*1*4#"]
];

Have anyone an idea to get the Phone dial the GSM-Code?

Answer 1

it is not possible to use gsm-codes with public methods

See Apples Documentation about Phone Links:

To prevent users from maliciously redirecting phone calls or changing the behavior of a phone or account, the Phone app supports most, but not all, of the special characters in the tel scheme. Specifically, if a URL contains the * or # characters, the Phone app does not attempt to dial the corresponding phone number.
