Making Phone Calls from the Browser

Openwave Calling Guidelines
■ Embed code to make the phone call.
Example 5-2
Openwave Browser
<do type="accept" label="Call">
<go href="wtai://wp/mc;14085551543">
</do>
In Example 5-2 the user can call 1-408-555-1543 by pressing the Call softkey.
■ Provide a Call anchor label.
This allows users to make a call directly from the browser.
■ Use href="wtai://wp/mc;<phone number>" instead of a link, unless multiple
actions are desired.
This allows the user to make the call directly from the card rather than accessing
another card to retrieve the number and make the call.
■ Some browsers will return to the previous card when it is reinvoked after the call
is terminated.
To display a card other than the previous card in the history after the call terminates,
use
<onevent type="onenterbackward"> in the card that generated the call.
■ Map the Send key action to the action of calling.
In addition to using the softkey Call use <do type="vnd.up.send"> so that users
can also press the Send key to make the call. However, do not rely solely on this
because not all phones have a Send key or map the Send key function.
