Default Can Q dial phone number from Web Page

I'm an old Blackberry user and if I went to a page with a valid phone number I could click on the phone number to dial. On the Q it shows the phone number but does not allow it to be dialed. Has anyone figured out how to make the Q dial from a web page?

Thanks in advance,
---Kent

Very strange. We are able to send ourselves a Text Message and the dialing function works from the email that we send. We just send an email to phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com in an html format. Those type messages allow us to dial from the Text Message.

Thanks for the quick response,

I've recently been developing some personal web tools for my girlfriend and I. I have a Blackberry 8800 and She has a Q. I auto dial numbers and she doesn't.

I found by wrapping phone numbers with <a href="tel:(555) 555-5555">(555) 555-5555</a> worked just fine. A pop-up confirms she wants to dial and she is set...

it is on google's website in IE on the Q. Do a search for a business and your zip code and google will return the business's website and a the phone number for the business which you navigate down to and click on just like a link

Great find - I will use this to be able to dial numbers directly.

Thank you,

As a note, the Q dialed anything in this field. My black berry did not. After some reading I believe the number has to be fully qualified and formated as such:

1-408-555-5555

I will test this later but for now in my yellow pages app I wrote I just don't output the tel: code when the user agent is a blackberry...
