Hello everyone, my question is simple. Is there any way to make a phone call using glbasic?

Thank you

Simple answer is yes via serial port to modem if the OS system doesn't have telephony like iOS.

On IOS you can use NETWEBEND to call a number. Not 100% sure on the syntax but can look it up when I get home. It may work on Android too but have never tried it.

I think you need to call Apple functions using inline code.

According to what I just read you use (with something like NETWEBEND as BigAnd suggested I'm guessing):

Code (glbasic) Select
tel://5555555

Or:

Code (glbasic) Select
telprompt://5555555

Which supposedly prompts the user before making the call.

Thank you all, friends. I regret not spending much time in the forum, I always learn a lot with your lessons.

I will try it.

All the best.
