SITUATION
So now you have a KAYWA weblog and you use it more and more with your mobile. Sometimes, you also write down an address with a telephone number.

PROBLEM
When you access your weblog via mobile phone or PDA you would like to call directly the phone number in your post without writing it down first and then call in a second step.

SOLUTION
Use a Tel.-Link which looks like this:
<a href="wtai://wp/mc;+41438182940">043 818 29 40</a>
respectively like 043 818 29 40

HOW TO DO IT
  • You have the swiss phone number 043 818 29 40, which is in international writing style: +41438182940
  • Go to your web admin
  • Click on link (as you would for a normal link).
  • Write under URL wtai://wp/mc;+41438182940
  • Write under Link text 043 818 29 40
Now you can click on the phone number on your mobile weblog page and make a direct call.

FILE UNDER CONTACTS
  • Write under URL wtai://wp/ap; +41438182940;KAYWA AG
  • Write under Link text 043 818 29 40
Result: Put in contacts
You will be asked if you want to insert it under contacts.

Yeah, I think it works with 99% of phones released since the year 2000 or something like that. Too bad there isn't a tag to send SMS!
