Hi,

yes, i know, the title is not clear,
but it was hard for me to explain that in 3 words

Perhaps lot of people know yet this, but i discover this functionnality yesterday, surfing on the net with my smartphone (i'm noob with my smartphone, but i like discover all what could i do with it, im so curious...).

ok, ok, alain, let's explain :

In a mail or a web page, if you want that you readers call (phone call) the phone number from their smartphone, on the contact page for example

you should add this code : (french phone number in this example)



Result :
When your readers will click on the link, their smartphone directly call the number phone.

Cool, no ?

iPhone started to allow the user to click and dial any number displayed on a web page. As far as I know it did not verify if it was a real number or not but allowed the user to click on it to bring them to their dialing screen with the number in the entry.
Android or more specifically I believe it was HTC added this to their interface. Apple sued because they had patented it and any non apple handsets immediately removed this functionality.
I believe this was then "created" to allow users a way to still do this without needing an iPhone but was more of a Hack.

There is also another type of link as well. I will quote the text directly from the page.

Quote:

Also note that if you use this type of href you should always include the phone number in the displayed portion so that people can still call it manually. Not to mention older phones may still pick out the number and not recognize the href...

your code is correct but you cant place a call without accessing this page from a mobile.

You mean the Wtai code ?

You mean that the wtai code is only visible from mobile ?

The first code (
