phone redialer needed

I don't think there's an app for that. APple would need to implement that feature.

You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Currently impossible, I would think. There are 3rd party apps that dial, once - but to do so, they pass off the number to the iPhone's native phone app. 3rd party apps cannot run in the background. So, how exactly is the app supposed to dial the number again, if the app is terminated after handing off the number to the phone app?

That's why Apple has to implement this, if it's going to happen (or they will have to allow 3rd party apps to run in the background). But either way, there's no clever way around this. Thus, my suggestion to submit feedback to Apple. They're holding all the cards here...

Most replies to this thread refer to the obvious practice of manually redialing, which is missing the point. I believe the original poster is seeking an Auto redialer. More feedback needs to be made to apple on this common, though little known, phone feature not present in the iPhone. My nokia from 11 years ago did this, as well as my old landline (both via at&t). The objective is to continually dial a number with a "busy signal due to high call volume" and once it gets through, you are patched in via a call to your phone. You would basically set it up to auto-redial, let it do it's thing, set your phone down and wait for a call when it finally gets a ring-through. I would bet there is a numeric prefix you can enter that does this, similar to how *82 works to remove caller ID (not sure if it's 82 or 83?).
