> 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).
