Chapter 5 Making Phone Calls from
the Browser
Some applications require the user to make a call or create opportunities for the user to do
so, for instance, from a list of contacts, a phone number query, or an order form. This is an
extension of general navigation; however, not all phones allow the user to make a call
directly from the browser. If the phone does support calls from the browser, develop the
application so that the user can retrieve the phone numbers.
Shared Feature Set: Calling Guidelines
■ When displaying more than one phone number on a card, display the primary
number first.
Some browsers pick out phone numbers from the deck automatically and list them in
the order listed on the card.
■ Use a line or page break (<br/> or <p>) between displayed phone numbers.
Unless a break is added, the numbers may run together when the user selects the
“Use number” menu function or presses the Send key.
Example 5-1
Nokia 7110 Browser
■ When terminating a call, do not assume that the phone may reinvoke the
browser.
■ Do not assume that the same deck will be redisplayed after the browser is
reinvoked.
The user may need to navigate back to the same deck.
