Hi All,

is there a way to start a phone call on BB10 from a uri like this: "tel:55555555"?

I've tried the following:

    blackberry.invoke.invoke({

        uri: "tel:5555555555"

    }, onSuccess, onError);

but i got a "INVOKE_NO_TARGET_ERROR"..

do you know which "target" I am expected to provide?

Thanks a lot

Have you tried the action bb.action.DIAL?

1. action: "bb.action.DIAL"
2. uri: "tel:416-123-4567"

Hi, 

I tried it right now, but got still the same error..please help!

The same behaviour happens both in the emulator and on the real device..I was wondering if I can bypass this by using something equivalent to the former blackberry.invoke.APP_PHONE object..

thanks

You don't have a Phone application on your device do you? If you are running a Dev Alpha you do not. Both your invoke, as well as the one I provided you work as desired.

You have 2 choices:

1. Wait for a OS update with a Phone app,

1. Create a simple app that registers with the invocation framework as a phone application. So that it can listen to the specific URI.

Hi Marco,

Yes, unless you have an email client, which I suspect you do not.

The APIs for messages and phone calls are not yet available in the latest .1675 dev alpha update, hence there is no way to interact with those services from any app.
