old question indeed but am gna give it a try anyway, that function was deprecated in iOS4 and now you may have to let user input their own phone number / per parameter security issues — , Nov 15 '12 at 12:13

Read up on the Linkify class here.

A snippet from the documentation:

addLinks(TextView text, int mask)

Scans the text of the provided TextView and turns all occurrences of the link types indicated in the mask into clickable links.'
