Blackberry webpages

Hi. Im trying to modify our CRM system to better cope with blackberries - Id ideally like to show a page of contact information with a clickable email address (easy to do) and a clickable phone number. If you click the email address, it composes a mail message to that address (already done) and if you click the phone number it places a call to that number (this is the bit Id like to do but haven't got a scooby about).

Anyone of you lovely people have any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

In both Windows Mobile and Palm Blazer if some text on the screen looks like a telephone number it's automatically converted into something you can click to call. Is that not the case on a Blackberry?

Thanks for this - you are correct. It does pick up the number. The issue seemed to be with other characters in the field (i.e. brackets, hyphens etc...).

Much thanks.
