I have the same, it stopped working after last framework 3.7 update


    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.12.0
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.12.0

global packages:

    cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.0.1

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 3.0.0
    Cordova Platforms  : android 6.2.3
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.7.1

System:

    Android SDK Tools : 25.2.5
    Node              : v6.9.2
    npm               : 5.3.0
    OS                : Windows 7

It stopped working even before.

I have 3.6.1 and I have the exact same behavior. I try to force install and now I can’t even install it. I get https://github.com/Rohfosho/CordovaCallNumberPlugin.git not found.

Anyone has any clue?

I don’t think you need to. If you have the in app browser it’ll launch the dialler anyway.

callNumber(){
 setTimeout(() => {
      let tel = '12345678890';
      window.open(`tel:${tel}`, '_system');
    },100);
}

I tend to put into a timeout as it allows the button to do its click animation whilst the phone thinks about the action you’ve requested.
