No you cant do this in iOS . iPhone SDK not gives you direct access to dial a numbers from the application .The one way to achieve this is take a text field 

textfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypePhonePad;

and

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@",textfield.text]]];

You have to see the format for entering the number.

Why not create a UIView that has a "UITextField" and when the text field comes up, have the keyboard set to only be numbers (i.e. pretty much the same thing as the dialpad).

And once they are done entering in the number, then you can call the "openURL" line you have above.
