Midlet and calling

[rudolphous]

Is it possible to make a phonecall from a midlet?

[doctordwarf]

No. To be completely sure: no in MIDP 1.0.
However I'm almost sure that in MIDP 2.0 this is also true.

P.S.
Some manufactures can add API for it.

Yes you can. There is a sample program available in the forum for download.

Filename: A_MIDlet_Example_Using_the_WMA_and_the_Nokia_SMS_API_v1_0.pdf

My understanding is that the Nokia SMS API v1.0 is a precursor to WMA. Also, this API is available initially for the Nokia3410 only.

He is asking about making calls, not sending SMS

[benbolivar]

Yeah. I realized that after the post. I was intending to reply to his other inquiry on the possibility of doing SMS in a MIDlet. I also noticed that you already have a reply to his SMS inquiry.

Thanks,

Ben

In Midp 2.0 you can make a call:

In Midlet:
this.platformRequest("tel:5555551234");
