mcfedr commented on CB-33:
--------------------------

ok, sorry, seems i was a bit quick to report this, proper investigation has found this to be a more general problem with using tel links, that there doesn't appear to be a way to do it from javascript.

a regular <a href="tel:123456">call</a> works just fine. 

but neither window.location = "tel:123456" or window.open so one cannot do it from javascript.

so this is less of an issue, and what the quoted plugin solves, I think it would be nice to have this built into callback and across all platforms, i don't know what this situation is for other platforms as i have limited access.

> possibly this happened since ios5,
> currently i have this plugin which allows me to make tel links, https://github.com/mcfedr/PhoneGap-ios-PhoneDialer, but there is still the underlying issue which i think might be because of something phonegap does.
> a simple phone does nothing and we get an error in the console.
