   > This issue on the other hand is about opening those links _from within the InAppBrowser_, i.e. the embedded browser window you can use to open arbitrary external URLs, see the linked [sample app](https://github.com/acran/cordova-inappbrowser-mailto-bug-sample).
   
   @acran - If I change the target to `_self` or `_system` I'm able to have the device prompt me to call and switch to the phone app. I've taken your project and set the URL to a local pizza place which has a vanilla `tel` link in their markup, for whatever reason your `iab.html` just didn't work for me. 
   
   Unfortunately, `_blank` doesn't work. Which is probably the most sought-after target to have work since it doesn't transition the user away from the app. But, hopefully this helps in the eventual fixing of the issue.
