Hi,

I am writing an application which is in landscape mode. It dials a phone number using the "tel" protocol. While dialing the standard iPhone dialer screen pops up. Is there any means by which this screen can be suppressed?
Or how can I make this screen device orientation aware?
Is there any other means by which the same can be achieved without using the
tel protocol?

Please don't suppress the standard dialer screen. As long as it remains, the user has no doubt about what you're doing, and how to interact with the interface.

It would worry me if there *was* a way to suppress it. Control of the device belongs to the user, and providing a single funnel interface (the tel: protocol and its associated UI) to the dialing system brings us one step closer to assuring that.
