Problem using tel: with * (star, asterisk)

I am building an application that needs to dial conference numbers (919-900-9000,,,1234#). The commas are pauses and the # is entered after the password. I have tried to use the NSURL but this strips out any special characters including * and #. Is there another way to make a call programmatically on the Iphone?

You cannot. To prevent third-party app from dialing phone numbers that can cost the user money, iOS blocks those options. Basically the user has to take responsibility and dial the conference number themselves.
