Apple seems to have a bug in the “Turning telephone number detection off”-setting. It works well when it is a webpage but if you set apple-mobile-web-app-capable it no longer works.

@Blake

Yes you can!

Here’s Apple’s own anser to it:

Scroll down to the bit that says ” Turning telephone number detection off”

@Dipayan: Yes, you can put such a link anywhere you can put a hyperlink. So linking the telephone image is fine too.

The tel: href also works on Symbian (verified on S60 3rd). Perfect.

It also seems to work on Opera Mobile 10 (beta 2), but not because of the tel: href, but simply because it attempts to recognize phone numbers in plain text.

DTMF String??

Try creating an identical link using DTMF:
(keypad numbers only, no spaces)

Works in most versions of windows mobile.
