phone_to(phone_number, name = nil, html_options = {}, &block) public

Creates a TEL anchor link tag to the specified phone_number. When the link is clicked, the default app to make phone calls is opened and prepopulated with the phone number.

If name is not specified, phone_number will be used as the name of the link.

A country_code option is supported, which prepends a plus sign and the given country code to the linked phone number. For example, country_code: "01" will prepend +01 to the linked phone number.

Additional HTML attributes for the link can be passed via html_options.

Options

  • :country_code - Prepends the country code to the phone number

Examples

phone_to "1234567890"
# => <a href="tel:1234567890">1234567890</a>

phone_to "1234567890", "Phone me"
# => <a href="tel:1234567890">Phone me</a>

phone_to "1234567890", country_code: "01"
# => <a href="tel:+011234567890">1234567890</a>

You can use a block as well if your link target is hard to fit into the name parameter. ERB example:

<%= phone_to "1234567890" do %>
  <strong>Phone me:</strong>
<% end %>
# => <a href="tel:1234567890">
       <strong>Phone me:</strong>
     </a>
