In HTML, you can add telephone links on your page which allows the user to click/tap on it and then call the number.
This works because the browser will be able to read that the link is a telephone number and then launch the native telephone app on the device.
In this post, we'll learn how to add a telephone link in HTML.
Adding a Telephone Link in HTML
Adding a telephone link in HTML is the same process as adding any other link.
First you start off with your anchor tag.
HTML<a href="">
123-456-7890
</a>
As the href
attribute, you can use a telephone number, preceded by the tel:
protocol.
That looks like this:
HTML<a href="tel:123-456-7890">
123-456-7890
</a>
You can also add a country code to the telephone number:
HTML<a href="tel:+1-123-456-7890">
+1-123-456-7890
</a>
Try it out yourself:
