You can not redirect to the app while calling another app by using [[UIApplication sharedApplication]openURL:url]; — Natarajan, May 01 '14 at 19:02

I'm also trying to make a phone call in the background, but I haven't figured it out yet. However, to answer your question, you could use @"telprompt://%@" instead of @"tel://%@". This will pop up a little alert with the option to cancel or call, and upon ending the phone call the user will be returned to the app.
