Making a phone call from iPhone application

I am getting a little tricked up right now so I need some help. I have an iPhone app and within the app I want to be able to call a number. (Hopefully this is possible?)

I have looked at: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/Articles/PhoneLinks.html

and I am a little confused. It has an with the tel:XXXXXXXX but in objective c and the iPhone sdk can you have just a plain link??

Right now I am trying to use something along the lines of the following:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openUrl:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:#######"]];

(the ##### is a my second phone number hardcoded in for testing purposes)

Thanks in advance.

what you have should work, but NOT in the simulator

Yeah, that will work on a physical phone but it won't work in the simulator.... I don't understand what your question/problem is.

I'm not sure what your asking specifically. The code you have there should launch their dialer.
