How to make a call from calendar using a number in my calendar?

One of the few frustrating things about the iphone is how I cannot seem to find a way to dial a conference call number that is in my calendar nor dial the passcodes required for most business conference calls. In my case, I am synchronizing with Outlook Exchange. Unlike a number that appears in email being automatically "clickable," the lengthy and hard to remember 1-888 numbers and the pass codes show up as just text. Is there a workaround or an app to help with dialing into conference bridges? Otherwise, even with the power of an iPhone 4, I am still writing pass codes and numbers on napkins in the car. Thanks for any tips!!

iPhone 4, iOS 4

I also do a lot of conference calls and was so frustrated by this that I wrote an app to solve this exact issue. It queries the calendar and does pattern matching against the text in the calendar item, including the location field, and presents them so you can dial them directly. Apparently this is not an uncommon complaint. It has been selling pretty well. 🙂 Check it out at: http://itapless.com/products
