I'm half with Nick on this. Too many links to scroll over is not so good. On
the other hand where it is a telephone number, I quite like to be able
to click on it and dial. I do think though that if it is a tel: link then
the link description should be the telephone number, rather than some
non clear text like "Call us" or "contact us" as you have no clue what
that means until you click it. It has to be clear it is a phone number.
I can't imagine a page though where there are so many telephone numbers
that it effects scrolling too much. Somebody point me at a link where
they think if all the telephone numbers were converted to tel: links it
would be a bad thing.
Tom.
