call phone number from browser
 

hi everyone, is there any way/plugin that let call a phone number directly from a web page? is such a pain to switch between browser and dial pad to make a phone call.

thanks

+1:i would support the cause..show the number as a link..then when we press the number it should show two options one via network others via different VoIP skype and google talk incorporated:...wow that sounds great..:D

Copy & Paste works.

thanks for the tip

i tried this method, and it kind of work,

kind because numbers are clickable on a goggle search page, but they are not for example on a gmail message

anybody knows why? i tried with exactly the same number, same format

and guess what, the numbers on the emails are the ones that i really use most.

thanks

ps actually, on the same search page, some number is clickable some is not..... ouch..

Re: call phone number from browser
 

numbers need to be in link (href) format?
can't click them if it hasn't been specified as a phone number.
maybe look for a greasemonkey script to transform the non clickable ones.

i understand, so it needs to be in the souce code of the page.

but i do remember like somebody else recalled in the other post that skype in the past made a plugin for firefox to highlight all the numbers on a page as phone numbers.

well, at that time i found the thing a bit annoying and ditched it, but in this case it would not bother me

and by the way how do you copy and paste a number from a webpage??

It's called 'Hover mode'

Re: call phone number from browser
 

That's what I was meaning by greasemonkey scripts.
this one fore example
Greasemonkey
microb version

I have not tested this script, so try and feedback ;)
You can also modify it to your needs I guess.

My old N97 used to do this out of the box. I do miss it on the N Nine Hundred.

this is great guys, it DOES work.

I installed greasmonkey, and then this script

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/56262

it work, only thing that it adds a +1 to any number.

It is down to this line on the script

//default country prefix
const defaultPrefix= '+1';

so.

terminal

sudo gainroot

leafpad /home/user/.mozilla/microb/gm_scripts/phone_to_tel/phone_to_tel.user.js

and just deleted the +1 and so left it as

//default country prefix
const defaultPrefix= '';

as the numbers i'm sent by email are usually standard UK numbers which no require prefix.

YOU ARE GREAT GUYS, and I'm happier n900 user
