Accepted Answer

This is pretty clearly explained in the URLScheme Apple Doc - It says:

To prevent users from maliciously redirecting phone calls or changing the behavior of a phone or account, the Phone application supports most, but not all, of the special characters in the tel scheme. Specifically, if a URL contains the * or # characters, the Phone application does not attempt to dial the corresponding phone number.

  • Its not a problem, Apple doesn't allow it. You can't solve a problem that Apple just doesn't allow.

    The only workaround that I can think of is maybe to use a voip or telephony service that allows this, but it would require a native module and you'd have to make sure that the service that you use would allow the use of * and # in the call.
