Best practices
- Always include the country code with a + (E.164 format), so the link works for visitors abroad.
- Show the formatted number as the link text — e.g. "Call +94 77 123 4567".
- Place call buttons prominently on mobile pages; they are one of the strongest conversion actions for local businesses.
Pre-filled SMS text is supported on most phones; iOS and Android use slightly different syntax, and the generated link works on both.
Frequently asked questions
Do tel: links work on desktop?
They open a calling app such as FaceTime, Skype or Teams if one is installed.
Should I include spaces in the number?
Not in the link itself; the generator removes them. Spaces in the visible text are fine.
Can I track calls from the link?
Add a click event in your analytics tool, or use a tracking number.
