I've seen couple of threads on this, and want to share w/ people that w/ API 3.7, you can call the phone application from your own app.

The trick that i have not figure out is the how to call the app and have it call a number that you can pass in. Play around w/ the "args" variable in the code (see below)...

Here is the code:

public boolean gotoPhoneAppxxx40;xxx41;xxx123;
        boolean retval = true;                        
            int handle = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandlexxx40;"net_rim_bb_phone_app"xxx41;;            
            if xxx40;handle <=0 xxx41; xxx123;
                retval = false;
            xxx125; else xxx123;
                ApplicationDescriptorxxx91;xxx93; phoneDescriptors = CodeModuleManager.getApplicationDescriptorsxxx40;handlexxx41;;
                
                if xxx40;phoneDescriptors == null xxx41; xxx123;
                    retval = false;
                xxx125;
                else
                xxx123;
                    if xxx40; phoneDescriptors.length <=0 xxx41; xxx123;
                        retval = false;
                    xxx125; else xxx123;
                        Stringxxx91;xxx93; args = xxx123;"call","",""xxx125;;                       
                                        
                        ApplicationDescriptor descriptor = new ApplicationDescriptor
                        xxx40;
                            phoneDescriptorsxxx91;0xxx93;,
                            "phone", args,
                            null, -1, null, -1,
                            ApplicationDescriptor.FLAG_SYSTEM
                        xxx41;;
                
                        try
                        xxx123;
                            ApplicationManager.getApplicationManagerxxx40;xxx41;.runApplicationxxx40;descriptorxxx41;;
                        xxx125;
                        catchxxx40;ApplicationManagerException exxx41;
                        xxx123;
                            retval = false;
                        xxx125;
                    xxx125;
                xxx125;                
            xxx125;
        return retval;
    xxx125;

Just added [code] and [/code] tags around your source code to make it properly formatted.

This would be a Controlled API task, for security reasons.

However, I don't see it in the Controlled API list:
http://www.blackberry.com/developers...lledAPIs.shtml

Therefore, I am not sure if there is a way of doing so -- anyone else who can give an answer?

thanks for making it look nice.

The code uses the net.rim.device.api.system api, so it is part of the controlled API, which means you have to get your code signature.

Nevertheless, the method calls the phone api.
