Tryingto make the same code work for desktop and iPhone. The problem was that if the first option is used and you click it from a desktop browser it gives an error message, and if the second one is used it disables the tab-to-call functionality on iPhone iOS5.
So I tried and tried and it turned out that iPhone treats the phone number as a special type of link that can be formatted with CSS as one. I wrapped the number in an address tag (it would work with any other HTML tag, just try avoiding tag) and styled it in CSS as
If you want to be extra cautious and protect against the event of a telephone number which is not properly formatted with a wrapping anchor tag you can drill through the DOM and adjust with this script. Adjust the replacement pattern as desired.
Assuming you're just hard-coding numbers into your HTML, the "insert stuff in the middle of your digits" hacks will work. But they are of little to no use for dynamic pages, such as using PHP to output numerical data from a query.
As an example, I was generating a list of city populations. Some of the populations were large enough to cause Mobile Safari to turn them into phone number links. Fortunately, all I had to do was use PHP number_format() around the array output to insert "thousands" commas:
This formatting was enough to convince Mobile Safari that there was a somewhat more specific purpose for the number, so it didn't default my larger numbers into telephone links anymore. The same would hold true for the suggestion by @davidcondrey of using 1-800-123-4567 to specify a purpose to the number.
Bottom line is that Safari Mobile apparently does pay attention to semantics. Given that HTML5 is built around semantic markup, and search engines are relying on semantic markup, I intend to use it as much as I can.
Putting the number in a will prevent iOS from converting the number to a link for some reason. In some cases this could be the right solution. I don't advocate a blanket disabling of converting to links.
My iPhone has suddenly changed American telephone numbers into a French format so 914 205 xxxx becomes 91 420 5xxxx. I cannot get through to anyone unless I edit the numbers by adding +1 at the beginning. Is there any way to convince the iPhone that I live in the United States and therefore 1 is the default country code? It is true that I have a number of foreign telephone contacts too, but the US was always the default until now.
When I went to Settings to follow your advice I found that there was a software update to install. Once updated, my phone has gone back to normal telephone configuration so all is well. This was evidently a bug that needed the update, though the update did not specify that it was addressing the issue. For the record, the Language and Region are set to the United States. Thank you anyway for good advice -- I had been looking in Settings>Contacts and finding nothing.
I am trying to get Hubspot contact information into my phone as Apple contacts, so that when someone calls in, I know who it is. So far, I haven't found a way to do it. If you export contacts from Hubspot to Google, all of the phone numbers come across as notes, so not in the correct field. This makes it unusable if you then sync Apple contacts with Google. Anyone out there with the same issue?
Very excited to announce that HubSpot's native iCloud sync has now shipped! It is part of the newly launched Operations Hub and is now available to all customers at all tiers of the HubSpot product, including Free (with default field mappings - upgrade to Operations Hub Starter for custom field mappings).
After speaking with online support, it turns out there is no way to sync Hubspot with iCal and/or iCloud contacts. This seems like a necessary feature for this type of software, and the support agent was unable to answer why they haven't integrated Hubspot with iCloud. I've created a Hubspot account, however, it is very unlikely that I will use this software in it's current state... I really hope they build this capability in because this small group of users can't be the only people with this problem.
I just started using Hubspot and was facing the same problem. So far I haven't found any other solution, but to manually enter the contact details both in Hubspot and my iphone address book. This is a major disappointment! I'd really appreciate any other advice people might have!
Pipedrive has it, also surprised Hubspot doesn't. I used zapier to take a new contact input into hubspot and create a google contact, which syncs with my iphone via mail app. Messy solution, but a solution nonetheless.
Yesterday, I have been informed by Hubspot and users that the contacts are always available offline in the App as well as in Outlook when you are offline. You do not see activities, deals, etc. but you can write emails and make calls.
Once I re-added
FirstnameL...@company.com her emailed started working again. However she had her contacts to sync again to exchange and nothing came across and she is now missing a bunch of contacts.
The answer is it depends and it is complicated. With Exchange contacts are stored in the email account under the personal address book, Removing the exchange account removes the contacts from the phone. However when you add the account back they should sync to the phone again provided you connect using activesync and enable contacts in the mail account settings on the phone.
It is also possible when the user is looking for contacts on her phone she has it filtered to only show the list from group \ account. as this is possible to do on an iphone. in which case she just needs to have it show the all group.
It appears that since the exchange account that was setup has been broken for quite some time and she might have been creating accounts during that time, while exchange account was broken. Deleting the account then nuked all of the newer contacts she had.
Hey Guys can i ask, when i create a contact i expect it to be available to access directly in exchange not just via the phone, this being the point of having a means of access in event of phone being lost
Important: If you want a Dual SIM smartphone that can have 2 active plans/numbers at the same time, it must also be Dual SIM/Dual Standby (DSDS). Without DSDS, a mobile device may be equipped to store multiple eSIMs, but it can only have one of them activated with a carrier at a time.
If your device has more than 1 SIM and is DSDS-capable, you can have multiple numbers on 1 phone (e.g., your business and personal numbers on the same phone).
With DSDS, each SIM can be activated on a separate mobile phone number. Options include:
Important: if you're buying a Dual SIM device from Verizon, there's a 60-day SIM lock to prevent fraudulent activity. This means you must wait 60 days before activating another carrier's service on the second SIM. If you need to add a second carrier sooner, contact us.
Your phone still has only one contacts list, even when you've got 2 numbers on 1 phone.
Note: You can set the preferred "call from" number for each of your contacts.

Yes. But calls and texts to 911 still work best from your landline or primary cell phone number, and without using Wi-Fi. You should always provide your actual location and callback number to the 911 operator and be aware that if the operator calls you back, the call may be answered by others sharing your DIGITS line. See the DIGITS Terms of Use for additional 911 information.
If both devices already have their own phone number and data plan then you can access your primary number from either phone any time through the DIGITS app. Manage all your DIGITS right inside your DIGITS app in Settings >> Advanced Options >> Line permissions OR if you are on a desktop app then visit -

Depending on your service, you may have access to Anonymous Call Rejection. Try this on your landline. Make sure your caller ID is activated. Enter the magic number *77, and you will hear three beeps. Hang up, and any call that hides its number will be rejected.

Once you sign up, the Do Not Call list takes you off for-profit business call lists, but it isn't immediate. Telemarketers update their listings only periodically, so the FTC says it can take up to 31 days.
