How do I hyperlink a phone number?












-1














I am trying to hyperlink a number (international phone number) on my HTML webpage.



I've looked at tons of other examples online, and mine looks exactly the same so I'm not sure why it's not working :(



<a href="tel:+44 20 7123 4567">+44 20 7123 4567</a>


and here is my error message

    @Progman It is not a duplicate because the OP knows it's tel: but is having issues with encoding.

HREF links can’t contain spaces.



So your code will look like:



<a href="tel:+442071234567">+44 20 7123 4567</a>

    Hyperlinks (the URI in href="") cannot contain spaces. Fortunately E.123 and E.164 (the international phone number standards) do not require spaces or formatting characters either.



    You have two options:





    1. Use URI-encoded spaces %20:



      <a href="tel:+44%2020%207123%204567">+44 20 7123 4567</a>



    2. Remove spaces:



      <a href="tel:+442071234567">+44 20 7123 4567</a>



    I prefer #2 because it makes it easier to see the real digits because %20 contains digits.

      Remove the space between the numbers in your html. For example: <a href="tel:+442071234567">+44 20 7123 4567</a>.
