I have phone number links as +xx-xxx-xxxxxx on my webpage. In iOS 7 it works as long as it is viewed in mobile safari. As soon as I've added the webpage to my homescreen (standalone webapp-mode) the links don't work anymore. Has anyone an idea?

How does your HTML look like? – HoffZ Aug 24 '13 at 22:32

Same problem here, seems like it is impossible to open links with that point to external apps (safari, phone, mail, etc) within standalone web apps. – Nathan Manousos Sep 17 '13 at 21:36

Apparently IOS7 update broke all external links for standalone web apps. I hope Apple sees this as a bug and not a feature. – Mika Tuupola Sep 19 '13 at 10:49

tel: links do no work in iOS fullscreen mode. This has been a known bug for a couple months now, and no fixes have been issued as of yet, and no statement has been made yet by Apple about the status of this (major) bug.

EDIT: Fixed as of iOS 7.0.4
