on click trigger phone call in html

Question

On the phone number click I want to trigger the call thing in my site.

This is how I am showing the number.

<li><i class="fa fa-phone pr-5 pl-10"></i>+12 123 123 123</li>

How do I add the tell thing here.

Please help.

Answer 1

I think you should make the number a link and in the href attribute put "tel:younumberhere"

As per http://thenewcode.com/536/Adding-Phone-Numbers-To-Web-Pages-With-HTML5-and-Microdata

Answer 2

Create a link like this:

<li><i class="fa fa-phone pr-5 pl-10"></i><a href="tel:+12123123123">+12 123 123 123</a></li>

On Android it will bring up the Phone app and pre-enter the digits for 2125551212 without auto dialing.
