So,

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] 
                openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel: 14165551212"]];

calls a phone number on the iPhone.
What other things can we do, though? I’m trying to make a simple app that has a list of phone numbers. It dials the first one in that list, and re-dials if it is engaged. Is this possible?

    You can certainly open a link in Safari. It should also be possible to go to the Mail app and create an email. I heard that you can also go to the Messages app.

    And, I don’t think that what you described is possible. Your app can’t do much from the background. And I’m pretty sure that it can’t control/monitor any other apps(including Phone), so it will not be possible to re-dial it.

    Hope it helps
