Phone number links in iCal

Hello all;
In Mail, phone numbers turn into links which when tapped dial the call.
In iCal, even if I put a phone number in the event name or notes and view it on the iPhone, it is not a link. So I transcribe it on paper (yuck!) then dial it manually.
Tried to workaround this by adding attendees to the event but those contacts don't show on the iPhone.
Anyone know a way to be able to tap-dial from iCal on the iPhone?
Thanks, dave

Not possible.

  • Phone number links in iCal on iPhone

    When I receive an email on my iPhone that has a phone number included in the text it shows as a link I can tap, and then my iPhone will dial the number. Nice. Is there a way to enter a phone number in iCal that will act the same way? I often place customer phone numbers in iCal appts, but they are not clickable; it would be really handy if they were. Am I just not knowing how to do this?
    Thanks!

    I don't believe this is possible. I sometimes enter a phone number as a note for an event, but the number is not active/clickable to dial the number as is available with a received email or with a website.

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.
    Regards,

  • How do I change the phone number linked to one of my contacts?

    We want to FaceTime my mother in law but under her contact her work number is listed as the FaceTime phone number. I need to change that to either her mobile or her email address. How do I do that?

    iMessage is tied to your Apple ID.
    If you are using the same Apple ID, you will share iMessages across all your devices.
    If you use a different Apple ID, it won't happen.

  • HT3529 New Phone Number Linking to Messages

    I have a new phone number and am having trouble getting the new number to appear on my iPhone 4S under the Messages/Settings.
    Even though the old number has been deactivated, messages are still being sent/received by the old number.
    It's been approximately 72 hours since the new number went into effect.  How do I get this to update?

    Hi,
    For me this method did not work.
    However as you can see from the other posts for some people it does.
    There is not really enough info to determine what was different about those that worked.

  • "add to contacts" from phone number link doesn't work, iOS 8.1

    When you click on a phone number, e.g. in a Facebook messenger chat, you get the option to call the number or "add to contacts". If you click "add to contacts", the contact screen appears for a moment and closes again. I have tried a few times but it's not possible to use this feature. Seems to be a bug.
    iOS 8.1, iPhone 4S

    Hey Kalii, I also have the same problem here. I'm in Hong-Kong with 3 network and iOs 8.1.1
    Was working all fine when I bought the Iphone 6 about 2 weeks ago. Go to Thailand over the weekend and when I get back impossible to reconnect to the network.
    Tried to force restart, tried to loose wifi and reconnect, tried to restore network and tried the airplane mode on-off..... nothing works!
    Not sure if changing the sim will do anything, I'm sure it's the Iphone 6 antenna or software itself that got a problem!

  • Safari "tel:" phone number links stripping non-numeric characters

    After a week of owning my iPhone (two weeks after it launched) I made myself a little web interface that contain various iPhone-helpful links. Four of these were AT&T specific telephone links:
    *646# - check how many minutes remaining
    *729 - pay your bill
    etc etc..
    (e.g. <a href="tel:*729">click here to pay your bill</a>)
    Well, needless to say this was a very convenient feature, however these links no longer function properly. It seems that the iPhone is now stripping any/all non-numeric characters from the link (although I haven't done extensive testing to see exactly which characters .. only with * and $ in particular).
    I've even tried HTML entities but they were stripped too.
    Now I know apple had a security fix a few patches back, one that fixed a vulnerability involving "tel:" links (CVE-2007-3755), but I haven't found any documentation regarding special characters now being ignored/stripped.
    So, my question is does anyone know if there is a workaround for this, or did the patch inadvertently and permanently destroy the ability to send these very helpful text messages via a web interface?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    I'm having a similarly annoying behavior with "tel:" links. I'm doing the same thing -- writing a web page to store some convenient numbers, but for me, it's for teleconference numbers. You dial into a toll-free number, then after a pause, dial in a passcode.
    On the iPhone's contact list, you can program in the pauses as the letter "p."
    However, in a tel: link, the p's change to 7's. Interesting!
    What I've discovered is that, for me (FW 1.1.2), alphabetical characters are translated into their numerical equivalents. So 1-800-COMCAST (a number I've had to dial all too much recently) gets rendered to 18002662278.
    This is a difference between Safari 3 and the iPhone version. On Safari 3 on the Mac, both the HTML and a mouseover shows that the tel link contains the letters. On the iPhone, though, clicking the link brings up a dialog box with the letters "translated."
    So, interesting -- but now I have a problem. How do I enter a pause into a tel link?

  • Phone number links not active in emails

    The highlighted blue phone #'s in an email are not active as a hyperlink ; most annoying, is feature not available in the OS 10 ?  My 9900 had it
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    All is well now, contacted the support line at BB and after a back up & install new software, restore etc
    the hyperlinks now respond & work in all applications
    Thanks again, Doug

  • Why does iCal insist on formatting a phone number as a hyperlink? How can I prevent this, and prevent iCal from launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number in the event box?

    I just want to enter a phone number into an event in iCal. I do not want to launch FaceTime. How can I just put a phone number in an iCal event, without OSX 10.10 insisting on launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number? I use a Macbook Pro.

    Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick.  It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable.  People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem.  Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze.
    I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly.
    However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM).  So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work).
    When it is running, the app  displays the background processes that are running.  Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc.  Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).
    Here is my question:  is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?
    Which app is this?

  • Someone else's phone number is linked to my apple ID

    I have someone else's phone number linked to my apple ID. Others are unable to reach me via my own phone number on FaceTime. Anyone who can help?

    On your iPhone go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive
    In that menu you can select/deselect what emails can use iMessage on that device.  This worked....just figured it out by dialing through menus. 

  • How do I create an iMessage account for my phone number?

  • Clicking a Phone Number from a voicemail in Outlook 2013

    I was running Outlook 2010 and Lync 2013 on my Windows 8.1 machine. This was working great until I upgraded to Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home). Now, when I click a phone number link at the bottom of a voicemail in Outlook 2013, I get this message
    Microsoft Lync
    We're sorry, but Lync has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Lync will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?
    My options are "Repair Now", "Help" or "Close".
    Clicking "Repair Now" or "Close" does nothing but close the dialog box. I've tried reinstalling Office 365 Home (Outlook) and Lync. Neither these has resolved the issue.

    Why didn’t you use Outlook 2013 from Office 2013?
    I didn’t test this scenario, please install Office 365 home and Lync 2013 on another computer to check if that works.
