Create Hyperlinks for telephone numbers in Outlook

[Downtowner]

I use outlook to remind me of future customer calls I need to make. How can I make the numbers hyperlinks so I can simply click on the number and dial it?

Hmmm... Give this a try.

EDIT: That should work from a WAP web page, but I don't know if the task manager will interpret the wml or not. Worth a shot. Let us know how it goes.

Nevermind. Just tested it myself out of curiosity.

Tasks display it as is and do not appear to interpret any markup language.

Tried emailing it to myself too for grins. The link appeared exactly as typed, except anything that looked like a phone number was converted to a hyperlink. It wasn't the markup language, but a function of Pocket Outlook that seemed to make the numbers into hyperlinks.

Unless someone else has a clue, looks like you'll have to dial the contact by name or number like normal.
