How to make phone numbers active links in Windows Mobile Professional

Image_thumb_3It’s a shame that a workaround is needed, but this is a handy tip if you have a Windows Mobile Professional device and can’t click on phone numbers in appointments to make a call. You’ll have to beg and plead your meeting organizers to send the phone number in the body of the event, not in the event details. As shown, they’ll need to put a “Tel:” prefix in front of the phone number as well. Heck, just ask them to call you…The issue doesn’t exist in the Smartphone or Windows Mobile Standard edition and apparently remains a feature an issue in the upcoming version of WinMo 6.1 as well. And people wonder why James and I use Skype for the daily jkOTR conference call… that reminds me, have to get today’s agenda ready!
