Hi I am able to remove click-to-call links for labels / numbers in Iphone & Blackberry by keeping the above tags in the header part.

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> //for Safari
<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none"> //for Blackberry

Like this do we have any property for Internet Explorer ( Windows Mobile Browser ) ?

It appears that this functionality is not present in the current release of the OS and IE will parse numbers, addresses and emails automatically. As per the public doc:

Internet Explorer Mobile automatically recognizes phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses on webpages, regardless of whether they were designed as hyperlinks or not—so users can make a phone call, send an email, or map an address with just a tap or two.

You can wrap your number in <pre> tag. This will remove click-to-call links even in iPhone, without meta tags.

P.S. Tested on HTC HD7 and iPhone 4

  • I found that when using 
     tags, it causes a line break, so if you had something like: "call 
    555-5555
    " it would display on two lines. If you use  instead of 
     then it keeps everything on one line.
