Special Chars in Launch URL "tel:?????"

[doobox]

Hi there,

Is there a workaround to having Astrix, and hash for example in a number you want the dialer to launch on ios..?

Using
launch url "tel:*#101#"
or
launch url "tel:" & numToChar(32) & numToChar(35) & "100" & numToChar(35)

Neither work.

Hi doobox,

Maybe with urlencode ?

Code: Select all

get urlencode("tel:*#101#")
launch url it

best regards
Jean-Marc

Thank's but that does not work either.

Maybe put the number into a variable first?

get "#101#"
launch url "tel:" & it

If that doesn't work, note that numToChar(32) is a space, so if it wasn't a typo, maybe your concatenation example just needs a different ascii code. Ascii 42 is an asterisk.

Dear doobox,

Using special chars in a launch url is not posible. This is a restriction put in place by Apple to prevent users from maliciously redirecting phone calls or changing the behavior of a phone or account.
