Tabbar in modal dialog?

Question

iOS

Hello.
I have a problem while developing wireframes for an application.
Do: select a contact for a specific action in the application. It is necessary to have 3 options for choosing a contact - “favorites” (your own, inside the application), choosing from the address book and entering the number from the keyboard.
Options: contact selection can be done as a modal view or as another view in the navigation controller.
Problem: how to implement the choice of number input method? tabbar? Segmented button? Ask the user before displaying (when you click on Send, a pop-up window with the options favorites/contacts/keyboard).
Which option do you think is the most correct?
Links to popular applications with a solution to a similar problem are very welcome! :)
Thank you!

Answer 1

But what if you do it like in the Messages application - a field for entering a phone number, next to a + button or something else - which already leads to a modal controller that has a segmentedcontrol (favorites, contacts).

Maybe just take UISegmentedControl instead of fussing with a tabbar: example (carefully, 740KB) ?
