I would like the phone numbers added to the topic to be clickable and triggers the phone to call.
I inserted an HTML simple code however, on iphone broswer it does not work.
Appreciate your help

If a call to action button is a solution, that would be great.

Do tel URIs not work? callme
Hm I wouldn’t expect SIP URIs to work, but I’m surprised a basic tel URI with a valid e.164 number is ignored.

I did the same thing by adding the call `1-555-IETF-RFC` and didn’t work.
The thing is when you try to click on the number the topic itself turns into light gray background if you know what i mean. Something like iframe effect or so

But did you also add “tel” in the site setting `allowed href schemes`?

> Quick update for anyone else who’s interested: we now have the latest Discourse update and can confirm this is working, but only if the phone number is prefixed with tel:// (rather than just tel: which is the standard). I can confirm the links still work and are diallable! Can’t be done with Markdown but works fine if the full HTML link is inserted. Great stuff.
