The best you can do is call a url string that will open the built-in phone app...is that what you want?

@Richard_Klug
Where exactly do you crash ?
What crash log do you get ?

There is something curious in your code: callButtonClicked is an empty func

Code Block  @IBAction func callButtonClicked(_ sender: Any) { }

In addition, callNumber() func is not called anywhere…

Notes:

if the sender is a button, it is better to use UIButton type as sender instead of Any.
it is not a good practice on the forum to use another thread (even more when it is 4 years old) to ask an additional question. Open a new thread and if needed paste a reference to the older thread.
