How to initiate a Vonage call using a hyperlink

I am just finishing the webpage for our salesperson to quickly view the contact list.

Is it possible to initiate a call from our Vonage line via a hyperlink?

They offer an application called "Click-2-Call", but I hope it can be initiated using just a hyperlink.

This will likely require a custom protocol support add-on to enable your Vonage system to function this way.

I am guessing that something like

Call <a href="phone: 123-456-7890">123-456-7890</a>


If the "phone" protocol is recognized as a phone number that can be called by some default voip program. Then setting Vonage to handle this protocol will allow this to work.

But I do not believe that it is currently.

Yes, this is speculation, but I know skype has a browser plugin that looks at every web page and finds phone numbers and makes them viewable. It probably just sends some information to the skype client on the machine to make the call.

I haven't seen click-2-call before.



It would be interesting to implement it in an application with a PBX system :)

Please let us know if you find good information!

Perhaps you could use a packet sniffer like Ethereal to see what is being sent to where you are using click-2-call. Would be great to create an appearance extension for my Vonage line set, I don't really like click-2-challenge.
