I think I speak for everyone here when I say thank you for supporting
i-mode and keep up the good work.

Someone has already responded about the specific formats of telephone
numbers, but something to keep in mind:
* Japanese phone numbers start with 0, and you dial the zero when
calling domestically (You drop the zero and add Japan's country-code 81
when calling from overseas into Japan)
So if you see a string of digits such that it matches the pattern zero
followed by a nine-zero (cellphone), 4, 3, etc and it's 10-12 digits
long than it's probably a phone number.
As far as the tel: tag is concerned, you do NOT need to break phone
number parts correctly, so you might as well do:
tel:0312345678
Keep up the good work and I'm sure we're all available to test google
(I'm sure I'm not the only one with google bookmarked on my phone).
