    • Introduction

    This is a small module that allows you to initiate a phone call in React Native.

    NOTE

    When running on the iOS simulator, you will get a the URL is invalid error. This will work on a actual device. The iOS simulator does not support phone call feature.

    Install

    Install with npm

    $ npm install --save react-native-phone-call

    Install with yarn

    $ yarn add react-native-phone-call

    Usage

    To use the module, call the function with an object containing the number to call as a argument.

    import call from 'react-native-phone-call'

const args = {
  number: '9093900003', // String value with the number to call
  prompt: false // Optional boolean property. Determines if the user should be prompt prior to the call 
}

call(args).catch(console.error)

    Example with phone and extension. Use commas to add time between pressing different digits. (ex. dial a number and wait to be connected and menu to start being read. Press a number for an extension. Even wait longer for another menus and press another number for another extension.)

    const args = {
  number: '9093900003,,,3,,,274', // Use commas to add time between digits.
  prompt: false
}

call(args).catch(console.error)

    Limitations

    This module only provides a simple wrapper around the Linking API and is thus limited in the functionality it can provide. If you are looking for additional functionality, such as being able to initiate a phone call without user confirmation, please use other packages like react-native-immediate-phone-call.
