Hi!

I would like to know how to call a number from app. I tried to look for it over the net but I can't find one for c#.

thanks

    This works fine for me…

    using System;
using MonoTouch.Foundation;
using MonoTouch.UIKit;

namespace pfjtest
{
    public static class EmergencyCall
    {
        public static void callNumber()
        {
            string phoneNumber = "939-555-0113";
            string phoneURLString = string.Format("tel:{0}", phoneNumber);
            NSUrl phoneURL = new NSUrl(phoneURLString);
            UIApplication.SharedApplication.OpenUrl(phoneURL);
        }
    }
}

    OK, this is overly long as it's from much larger app, but simply done

    var url = NSUrl.FromString("tel:939-555-0113");
UIApplication.SharedApplication.OpenUrl(url);

    will do the job :)

    telprompt: is another nice one that provides the Call/Cancel dialog functionality to you for free, too.
