Tablet and phone text link

Question

My website HTML contains a phone number as a text. So, the iPad tablet interprets that as a phone - and turns it into an underline blue link.

Is it possible to format phone number to a different style?

You can turn off telephone number detection by adding the following to your page:

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">

Be sure to consider other devices and operating systems as well. For instance, to disable this on the BlackBerry, the following is needed:

<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none">
