How can I remove Skype phone number recognition?

Question

If Skype is installed, phone numbers are showing up with a Skype icon in some browsers.

I don't want to show Skype icons anywhere, ever.

Is there any JavaScript or PHP function that can handle this?

Answer 1

Use the following CSS to prevent skype from formatting the numbers on your page:

span.skype_pnh_container {display:none !important;}
span.skype_pnh_print_container {display:inline !important;}

edit Skype starts adding numbers in the class names to make them unique. You can solve by using the new Css selectors

span.skype_pnh_container {display:none !important;}
span.skype_pnh_print_container, span[class^="skype_pnh_print_container"] {display:inline !important;}
