Using Telprompt:// to make a call (editing message) - ios

I have a pretty simple question with perhaps a difficult answer.
Is it possible to edit the message that is thrown when you use "telprompt".
My priority is that i want to make a call and that after that call i want to return to the app itself instead of the Apple phone app.
But when i use a webView or the telprompt method it throws a message. I guess this is for safety reasons which is fine.. But the message only displays a phonenumber and two buttons. I want to add a name or something here.
Is this possible? How?
Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot. Period.

iOS - How to find/debug a system function in contacts app

The title might be weird but I try my best to explain my concern.
Upfront: I have little knowledge in programming but I'm willing to learn and understand this whole topic.
I would like to know how I can get an inside look into a function of Apples "Contacts" App or better a function this app provides.
E.G: If you enter a new contact with mobile phone number or email address and you save the inputs, the contacts app automatically responds if this user is able to receive Facetime calls. A new slider appears like a dropdown and you can chose to call via Facetime.
My approach is to have a script where I can enter the number/email and to get a response if Facetime is available or not.
I'm not asking for someone to give my a code example or something. I'm just interested how to approach this task. I would appreaciate if someone can give my a hint in the right direction.
Thank you.

Anatomy of a Porch.com SMS lead alert

I would like to design the SMS referral link for a lead alerts application. (So the pro would receive the SMS message on their device with a link to click through to the job request details.) I'd like to make it secure and scalable. The link below arrives in the SMS as a shortened URL. That much I understand.
Porch.com does something similar and I'd like to know what the strategy is behind each segment in the URL (or your best estimation). Can someone help me understand?
Here is an example: (Thanks Porch.com)
https://porch.com/pro/project/3fd55669-d7cf-4655-892e-252080c34a79?c=50145918&email=12345#yahoo.com&referrerSource=sms

First of all, this isn't really a question for Stack Overflow. This is a place for asking questions about code that doesn't work in order to get it to work.
Having said that, the more I looked at the URL as I was commenting on this question, the more I feel I worked out. This is my idea of what the URL is saying.
Here's the URL again: https://porch.com/pro/project/3fd55669-d7cf-4655-892e-252080c34a79?c=50145918&email=12345#yahoo.com&referrerSource=sms
The random string in the URL, 3fd55669-d7cf-4655-892e-252080c34a79, looks like it is the identifier for the project itself. It's long and random, like a uuid, so it would be hard to guess, but can uniquely identify the project.
The email is presumably the email address of the pro that the SMS was sent to, so that the return on sending SMS projects to them can be measured.
The referrerSource is then used to measure how each of their referring sources is performing.
The only parameter that is impossible to really guess at is the c. Removing it (in fact, removing any or all of the query parameters) didn't change the result of loading the page. This implies that it is just another tracking parameter.
Hope that helps.

Custom Voice When we call

I don't know if i am exceeding the limitations of expecting something at this level.
Can i have a CustomVoice when i call someone.
For Eg.: if I Press a Button CallUser which would make a call to the specified number, when the user accepts/receives the call, he/she should be able to hear/listen a Custom Voice in the form of some message, kind of stuff, but i wont be speaking a word.
Please let me know if i am not clear.
Feedbacks Welcomed.
Thank You.
Best Regards.
No, as a developers on iOS you can not interact with the telephone. So you will not be able to have some kind of text to speech engine to do the call for you.
You might be able to do this if you develop your own VOIP client, since then you have full control over the call.

Anonymous CallerId and (Un)conditional Forwarding with Twilio

When forwarding calls to a twilio number using unconditional forwarding from a mobile phone like this:
*21*0031123456789#
I never get information about the original caller id, or better, I get +266696687 which is the equivalent for ANONYMOUS.
This is a sample of the request parameters that twilio sends
/twilioml?AccountSid=AC9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&ToZip=&FromState=&Called=%2B31123456789&FromCountry=LS&CallerCountry=LS&CalledZip=&Direction=inbound&FromCity=&CalledCountry=NL&CallerState=&CallSid=CAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&CalledState=&From=%2B266696687&CallerZip=&FromZip=&ApplicationSid=APxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&CallStatus=ringing&ToCity=&ToState=&To=%2B31123456789&ToCountry=NL&CallerCity=&ApiVersion=2010-04-01&Caller=%2B266696687&CalledCity=
If I try a conditional call forwarding like this one for example:
*61*0031123456789#
/twilioml?AccountSid=AC9xxxxxxxx&ToZip=&FromState=&Called=%2B31123456789&FromCountry=NL&CallerCountry=NL&CalledZip=&Direction=inbound&FromCity=&CalledCountry=NL&CallerState=&CallSid=CAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&CalledState=&From=%2B315555555&CallerZip=&FromZip=&ApplicationSid=APxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&CallStatus=ringing&ToCity=&ToState=&To=%2B31123456789&ToCountry=NL&CallerCity=&ApiVersion=2010-04-01&Caller=%2B315555555&CalledCity=
In this case, assuming that my number is +315555555, the caller id information is my own number and not the original number that called my phone
I'm trying this from Vodafone Netherlands but I haven't tried with another operator yet.
Is there anyway to make this work? Is it a Vodafone (Netherlands) issue or something at the Twilio side because otherwise I'm afraid this is a major setback to our solution.
Thanks in advance
Can you try this example: https://www.twilio.com/labs/twimlets/forward ?
If that also fails, there's something wrong with the entire process, potentially related to your phone number or carrier.
If it does work, there's probably an error in your TwiML. Would you be able to share the underlying code? Or at least whatever is generated?
Either way, we should be a little closer to the underlying problem. :)
According to Twilio it's an operator issue

Where can I see how many users my Twitter-Application?

I created a Twitter-Application and want to know how many user use it (gave access to it).
I also remember seeing such a value when I was developing it, but can't find it anymore.
Can I see it somewhere or is my mind playing games with me?
Twitter used to display this number when you opened the application settings at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients, but it appears that they have taken this very useful number away.
You can email Taylor from Twitter to get the number.
