phone number links in WAP pages
Hi There, is there a way to put a phone number in a WAP page so that the phone will dial it when clicked on?

We are doing an online WAP phone directory for a client and it would be great to be able to click a link to dial the phone...

Ta, Simon

What I've used...
What I've used has been:

<anchor title="XXX-XXX-XXXX">Call me!
<go href="wtai://wp/mc;XXXXXXXXXX">
<setvar name="var_name" value="var_value"/>
</go>
</anchor>

where X = the phone number. It's been a while, but last time I tried it, it worked....

on other forum i read :
<a href="tel:XXXXXX">Call</a>

so which should we use to get best results!

and if we use something like:
<a href="wtai://wp/mc;2065551212" href="tel:2065551212">206-555-1212</a><br/>


what will it do, .... logically either of the tags should fail gracefully, and the other should work!

practically any inputs?

M.

well neither are officially supported in any of the specifications so there's no right or wrong answer to that question.

i tend to use wtai on my old wap - wml sites and tel on my new mobile-web xhtml sites. tel is easier to type!

some handsets will work with both, some one or the other and some will do nothing. that's mobile though....

edit - but if you do <a href="" href=""> you'll be writing screwed up markup...............

ok,.... so i go for wtai for wml and tel for xHtml?

so which side does cHTML take???
guessing japanese should follow tel:,
but u never can be sure,
they may just invent something like cTel:

yep, href="" href="" does seem jumbled,
but the idea seems cool,.... play with what u like u phone !

Hi jabba_29

Found it!

looking for more info came accross this 3.3, seems cHTML does follow "tel:"
atleast one format is sensible enough to officially support it!!!
