Hi, there is no API for that in the SDK. The platform's design doesn't allow arbitrary apps to send messages or place phone calls in the user's name without requiring interaction from the user. What you can do in your app, is to open a link like tel:///12345678. This would cause the dialer app to appear with that number filled in. All the user then has to do is to press the call button. This should cater for most of the uses cases I think. For example, an app that finds some phone numbers for the user to call, can be done pretty nicely with that. That said, obviously, there might be some use cases where sending messages or calling numbers in a completely automated way are desired (say, anti theft apps). This is still possible by either accessing ofono on D-Bus yourself or calling the scripts in /usr/share/ofono/scripts. Your application needs to be unconfined for that. Obviously this is highly sensitive from a security point of view and because of that an app doing so cannot be published in the store at this point. Your application needs to be unconfined for that, which means your options to publish it are either by hosting it yourself or publish it in the openstore. Br, Michael
