Phone Link Generator

Generate clickable telephone (tel:) links for websites, digital business cards, QR codes, and mobile devices.

About tel: links

A tel: link (e.g. tel:+9779800000000) tells a browser or device to open its phone or calling app with that number ready to dial — a one-tap "click-to-call" instead of copying a number by hand. On phones this reliably opens the default dialer.

Desktop behavior varies: it depends on whether a calling application (like Skype, FaceTime, or a softphone) is installed and set as the default handler for tel: links. If none is set up, nothing happens or the browser may prompt to choose an app — this isn't something the link itself can control.

Frequently asked questions

What is a phone link?+

A clickable link that opens the device’s phone (or calling) app with a number already filled in, so tapping it starts a call in one step.

What is a tel: link?+

tel: is the URI scheme used for phone links — e.g. tel:+9779800000000 — recognized by browsers and operating systems as a request to place a call.

Will phone links work on desktop?+

It depends on what’s installed. Many desktops open a calling app (like Skype, FaceTime, or a softphone) if one is set as the default handler; otherwise nothing happens or the browser prompts to choose an app.

Can I create QR codes?+

Yes — every generated tel: link can be turned into a downloadable QR code that opens the dialer when scanned.

Can I use international phone numbers?+

Yes — use the country picker or type the country code directly so the link includes the full international number.

Is this tool free?+

Yes, completely free with no sign-up.

Does this tool store my phone number?+

No — the link is generated entirely in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
