Is it possible to turn off the dial assist feature in iOS programmatically?

I am facing an issue while dialing a call as it is automatically assigning international or local prefixes when making calls for toll free local numbers Which starts with one to ISD 

NSString *phNo = @"18605003000";
NSURL *phoneUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString  stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@",phNo]];
NSLog(@"in call");
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:phoneUrl]) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:phoneUrl];
}

For above code, when Dail assist is ON, it is prefixing number and converting with +1 (860) 500-3000 which is actually a Indian toll free redirecting to ISD to call ..To avoid this I want to check whether Dail assist is ON or way to disable this programatically.

I have even referred this iOS dial assist auto formats local number to USA number but this way it is Dailing to wrong number

So can any please suggest me for possible way?

I tried the code, and had the dial assist on, but it dialed "18005003000" and did not converted to +1 (800) 500-3000

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://18005003000"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
