Flutter Phone Dialer

Open the phone dialer or place calls from your Flutter app on Android and iOS.

• dialNumber opens the system dialer pre-filled with the number. The user presses the call button — no permission required.
• callNumber places the call directly (Android only; requires the CALL_PHONE permission).

Getting started

dependencies:
  flutter_phone_dialer: ^0.1.0

import 'package:flutter_phone_dialer/flutter_phone_dialer.dart';

// Open the dialer with the number pre-filled (no permission needed).
await FlutterPhoneDialer.dialNumber('+441234567890');

// Place the call directly (see platform setup below).
await FlutterPhoneDialer.callNumber('+441234567890');

Both methods return a Future<bool> indicating whether the dialer/call was started. USSD-style codes work too, e.g. dialNumber('*400#').

Platform setup

Android

dialNumber works out of the box — no configuration or permission needed.

callNumber requires the CALL_PHONE permission. Add it to your app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

The plugin requests the runtime permission on first use; if the user denies it, callNumber returns false. Note that Google Play restricts apps that use CALL_PHONE, so prefer dialNumber unless you truly need direct calls.

iOS

iOS never allows placing a call without user interaction, so both methods show the system call prompt. Add the tel scheme to your Info.plist (the plugin uses canOpenURL to check that calling is available):

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
  <string>tel</string>
</array>

Complete example

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_phone_dialer/flutter_phone_dialer.dart';

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: ElevatedButton(
            onPressed: () => FlutterPhoneDialer.dialNumber('+441234567890'),
            child: const Text('Dial Number'),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
