iphone

I am trying to make a call button that will call 18 which is Fire Dept in France.

So my code is :

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://18"]];

It doesn't work and I get this message in the console :

< warning > Ignoring unsafe request to open URL tel://18

But I saw other application that have the same button fully working !

I am trying this on the device of course.

What am I missing ?
