how to dial a phone number from a link

[mmourtada]

I am using this code (a href="tel:1-222-222-5555") inside contact us page, it does not dial the number?
any help on the correct format will be greatly appreciated, .

come on, think about it. Would'nt it be a huge security issue if this would be possible??

Come on, he's asking how to make a link to a phone number, not to dial "automatically".

There are solutions, but I think they differ a lot between smartphones. On some of them it's not even possible (AFAIR).

Chriz,

It is actually part of the way iOS's webkit works.

Try tel:+12222225555 for the uri and see if that works better. I think I read somewhere where you need the '+' before the country code for the number to be recognized by a lot of phones. BTW, the full RFC for the telephone URI is here - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3966

Hi mmourtada,

I have the problem to display a phone number variable with html code. Could you please let me know how you put code <a href="tel:+12222225555">1-222-222-5555</a> to display on the formpanel so when clicking 1-222-2222-5555, it will dial.
