This function is responsible for dialing voice and data calls.

Syntax

HRESULT RIL_Dial(
  HRIL 
hRil,
  LPCSTR 
lpszAddress,
  DWORD 
dwType,
  DWORD 
dwOptions
);

Parameters

hRil

Handle to the RIL instance returned by RIL_Initialize.

lpszAddress

Address to dial. This value can be no longer than MAXLENGTH_ADDRESS characters.

dwType

Specifies the type of the call to establish. The following table shows the possible values.

Value Description

RIL_CALLTYPE_VOICE

The call is a voice call.

RIL_CALLTYPE_DATA

The call is a data call.

RIL_CALLTYPE_FAX

The call is a fax call. This value is not supported.

dwOptions

Specifies the dialing options. The following table shows the possible values.

Value Description

RIL_DIALOPT_RESTRICTID

Block caller ID.

RIL_DIALOPT_PRESENTID

Present caller ID.

RIL_DIALOPT_CLOSEDGROUP

Closed user group dialing. This value is not supported.

Return Value

Positive HRESULTvalues indicate success and are command identifications for matching the asynchronous call result. Negative HRESULTvalues indicate an error. Errors are defined in the Ril.h file.

Asynchronous result RIL_RESULT_OKindicates success. The lpDatanotification parameter is set to NULL.

Remarks

This function is called to establish a voice or data call. A RIL driver should ignore any non-dialable characters in lpszAddress.

For voice calls, when RIL_Dialis called, the radio should begin dialing the specified address. The asynchronous result should be returned as soon as the radio has dialed the number. The RIL should not wait for the remote party to answer. For data calls, RIL_Dialshould wait for the connection to be established before returning asynchronously. In either case, RIL_Dialmust also generate RIL_NOTIFY_CONNECT when the asynchronous result is returned.

The RIL proxy translates the RIL_Dialfunction into IOCTL_RIL_Dialwhen the RIL proxy calls RIL_IOControl.
