[Sigia-l] OT: Mobile UI Help

[russ at bluechromedesign.com]

Use the 'wtai://wp/mc' command to allow users to directly dial a number
simply by clicking on the link. This will not work on every phone, but
many do support it and it makes life much easier for users. Also consider
how you list phone numbers in pages. Some devices that do not support the
wtai command do have a function that allows users to capture phone numbers
from pages simply by recognising strings of digits, but this feature can
be sabotaged if numbers are formatted with brackets; for example: '(01234)
567890' or '+44 (0) 1234 567890'. For this reason list phone numbers
simply and in the format that will be useful to your users; for a UK only
site the format '01234 567890' is probably best (note spaces generally do
not cause problems).
