Some non-phone mobile device (like iPod Touch, iPad), don't allow voice calls. While many browsers, like iPhone, Android, Nokia and BlackBerry offer a confirmation alert for the call action, Sony Ericsson's NetFront browser presents the user with a menu proposing different actions to take. If they are in the same country, or even in the same local area, the international format will still work. We do not really know where our visitors will be located. I recommend inserting the phone number in the international format: the plus sign (+), the country code, the local area code, and the local number. This is to avoid frauds tricking the user into calling another country or a premium number. If the user activates a call link she will receive a confirmation alert asking whether to place the call, showing the full number. The very basic and simple syntax is: Call us free! Today, we can find support for tel: URI-scheme in almost every mobile device, including: Safari on iOS, Android Browser (image above), webOS Browser (image above), Symbian browser, Internet Explorer, Opera Mini and low-end devices browsers. It was proposed as a standard in the RFC 5341, but be careful because most of the parameters proposed there do not work on any device. The first de facto standard (copied from the Japanese i-Mode standards) is to use the tel: scheme. In this article, we analyze the new URI schemes, some meta tags and also how to call Skype or Facetime applications from a website. Remember: most mobile devices are also phones! So, why not create link-to-call actions? If you're creating a business guide, or even for your own unique phonebook, most people will prefer to call a person instead of filling in a form on the device.
