Clickable Telephone Numbers in Replies?

Users are discussing how to make phone numbers clickable in replies. Alaa attempted to add an HTML code but it didn’t work on iPhone browsers. dax suggested adding CSS as described in a meta discourse topic.

Stephen pointed out that tel URIs should work, and Alaa tried adding a tel link but it didn’t work, causing the topic to turn gray instead. dax suggested adding “tel” to the site setting allowed href schemes, but Alaa reported no effect.

codinghorror shared a meta discourse topic that may provide a solution, which Alaa found helpful.

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.

it should work by adding a bit of CSS

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 <a href="tel:+1-555-438-3732">1-555-IETF-RFC</a> 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?

No effect :frowning:

You’re awesome :wink:
