Code help to dial a phone number with a click

Long-EZ · 02-17-2007, 04:23 AM

I know how to put links that work with one key stroke on a .mobi page.
Can anyone show me the code to place a phone number as a link and have it dialed upon selection?

I know that on a Nokia this will do the trick:

HTML Code:

<a href="wtai://wp/mc;+41438182940">043 818 29 40</a>

But I'm to much of a n00b on mobile developement..to know how wide it is supported.

This is an exerpt from Openwave's XTHML-MP Reference Guide:

"If the <a> element's href attribute is a telephone number using the "tel" or WTAI URL scheme, the browser instructs the phone to place a telephone call. (Be sure to check which schemes the phones in your marketplace support.)

The "tel" scheme is specified in RFC2806 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt). It supports both normal voice telephone calls as well as connections to voice mailboxes and other voice messaging systems that can be operated with DTMF tones.

"The WAP Wireless Telephony Application Interface (WTAI) is specified in the document with that name (available from the Open Mobile Alliance at http://www.wapforum.org).

To place a voice call with "tel" (hyphens optional):

<a href="tel:+1-1-650-480-8000">Call Openwave</a>

To use "tel" to call a number, wait for a moment, and then emit two DTMF tones for the numbers 1 and 2:

<a href="tel:+1-1-650-480-8000;postd=pp12">...</a>

To place a call with WTAI:

<a href="wtai://wp/mc;16504808000">Call Openwave</a>"

Source

Hope this helps..
