Dialing MIDP2.0 phones programmatically
A user interested in the PhoneGnome midlet pointed out something interesting and quite useful today: how to induce a Java MIDP2.0 phone to dial out under MIDlet control.
The Javadoc for MIDlet.platformRequest(String URL) says
If the URL specified is of the form tel:, as specified in RFC2806, then the platform MUST interpret this as a request to initiate a voice call. The request MUST be passed to the “phone” application to handle if one is present in the platform. The “phone” application, if present, MUST be able to set up local and global phone calls and also perform DTMF post dialing.

Very cool.
Thanks, Richard.
