Recognize Phone Numbers

[rickh925]

Is there any way to get the Hermes to recognize phone numbers in say an email? I would love to be able to just click a link in an email to a recognized phone number instead of having to cut and paste into the phone app. Even better would be a way to recognize a phone number on an appointment in a calendar for all of those useless conference calls that I find my self on. :mad:

I'm currently running WM6 LVWS 3.30.2.1 on my 8125.

You should be able to click on a phone number in a message or appointment and get an option to dial. I always make sure when I put phone numbers in my appointments to type the 10 digit number ie 555.555.5555

yeah just don't use spaces, it comes down to the formatting of the number

I see that the phone numbers if entered xxx-xxx-xxxx or xxx.xxx.xxxx in an email work when displayed in the pocket Outlook email client. Phone numbers of xxx-xxx-xxxx or xxx.xxx.xxxx in an appointment(subject or body) are not displayed as links. I viewed them in both the default calendar application as well as Pocket Informant 2007 just to see if that could determine if they were phone numbers and neither could.

Can you verify that you see links in appointments? I'm creating them in Outlook on my laptop by the way and using Active Sync to sync them to the phone if that matters.

Right after I sent that last reply I checked what would happen if I created the appt in Pocket Informant 2007 Calendar and that appt also does not show links for the phone numbers.
