Solved Tel: links are not working
-
Thank you for your help. That, unfortunately, doesn't work, but the problem might simply be that I have installed linphone as a flatpak application. Does that use a different starter?
-
@ekevu it would be interesting to first check if Linphone can actually process these URLs via direct command line invocation.
To my knowledge
callto:might not be supported by non-Microsoft applications whereastel:is a standard.In your use case the scheme to register would be
calltoinstead of the (example)teltype.
A wrapper (script) could be used/registered to transform the URL to a supported format (url handler →.desktop→ wrapper → phone app). -
Hi,
recently tel: stopped working for me.See https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/native-hardware/click-to-call for an example.
tel: is registered to my softphone applicattion and the links are working in edge, firefox or chromium.
Is there somewhere a vivaldi specific setting? I couldn't find one.
Cheers

@manrenz Hi, this is a known issue. It's bug number is VB-60575. I've updated it as still not working in the tracker.
-
thx, good to know it's already on the list and not something on my end.
-
Still not fixed in 2.11.1811.33

NIST Telephone Time-of-Day Service <a href="tel:+1-303-499-7111">+1 (303) 499-7111</a>please fix this...

Okay, sadly the problem still is here.
I promoted vivaldi in our IT support team. We do a lot of remote support which involves calling clients from our webbased ticket system. Clicking the phone links is the easiest way to start a phone call because then some things get documented automatically.So a few of the guys already transitioned back to other chromium based browser.
I mean skype:username works as expected, this really can't be that hard.
Can I do something to bring more awareness to the issue? -
I'm using version "3.3.2022.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit)" on Windows 10, but this is still not working for me.
I'm assuming it's fixed now, over 8 months later, so how do I get my installation working?
Many thanks
-
@Gwen-Dragon Wow, thanks for the incredibly fast response! However, I don't understand what you mean. Could you elaborate? Thank-you
-
@Gwen-Dragon
Ah, that makes more sense. Thank-you!
Have they started work on it? ...or after this long, should I just give up hope of it ever working again in Vivaldi?
It seems odd to me that unimportant functionality (to me at least) like clocks and break times are being added while basic usability issues like this are left unresolved.
I have been using V2.4 to get around the issue (because tel links still work, and I don't need any of the new stuff they keep adding) but Google Doc's has been harassing me about it no longer being supported, which is getting annoying.
Many thanks

Thanks for looking

@Gwen-Dragon
Excellent, fingers crossed they get on it!
I didn't realise that sip: links still work, I only just thought to test it.
I've modified my website to use sip: rather than tel:, so at least some of my business stuff is working now.
-
In Safari and (I think) Chrome, I can set FaceTime as the handler for tel:// links - they'll open the application and cue up the number to be called, and I can then call it from my Mac with my iPhone. Does Vivaldi have similar support for external URL handlers like that? I can't seem to find it in any of the settings. There are (Chrome) extensions that I can install that will detect phone numbers based on a regex and turn them in to clickable tel:// or dial:// links (if the page hasn't already done so), but the links still don't do anything when clicked.
-
@gwen-dragon said in Tel links don't work anymore:
@TheLimey I updated the bug tracker for current internal 3.4.2036.x
I am now on 3.8.2259.42 and tel://-links still don't work. Which is super annoying, because 1¾ years ago it did work. Please be aware that our framework forces us to use the double slash in the link, but even that worked.
Is there any way we could assist in the progress?
Expectation: Soft phone application starts calling +1234 when I click a href=tel://+1234 in Vivaldi.
-
By now I am at Vivaldi 4.2.2406.44 and the bug (?) still exists. Any news on this?
-
@zif No progress.
-
Just spent about an hour trying to figure out why my tel link wasn't working properly before realizing it was working fine and vivaldi just wouldn't open it. How is this not fixed after almost two years?
-
This is getting a bit rediculous. I use Vivaldi for my work, and often have to click tel: links to call clients, and I have to copy paste now instead. callto: works fine.
-
please fix it. Tel is standard for phone links
