How do I add a "tel:" link to a button? For example, I have a link (tel:%28256%29%20585-6346) on my Wordpress site with the following background HTML:
(256) 585-6346 (you'll have to look at source it made it a hotlink, wihich is what I want to do on the button)
I tried to use the "Contact" button and assign a URL to it and it places the "http://" on the link automatically. I'm only trying to enter the "tel:%28256%29%20585-6346" part. I can't choose "other" like I can when pressing the Link button in this editor for example. There are only the 3 radial buttons. URL is the only one that makes sense in this case.
I want this to appear on Mobile phones and allow them to "CLICK TO CALL ON MOBILE."

Autodetecting phone numbers
The BlackBerry browser and Safari for iOS (iPhone/iPod/iPad) automatically detect phone numbers and email addresses and convert them to links. If you don’t want this feature, you should use the some meta tags.
For Safari
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
For BlackBerry
<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none">
hope this helps..
