How do I force phones to recognize international numbers on my website?

Question

I have an international phone number outputting on a website. For example: ``` +1 918 555 5555 ``` My iphone is smart enough to recognize this as a phone number and call it but it removes the "+" sign from the number. So if my friend from mexico was to click on it he would get an invalid number. Is their some meta-data I can use or any way I can force mobile phones to add that plus sign preserving the international number?

Accepted Answer
