Save contact number to mobile phone

Question

I am working on a mobile website, and I am suppose to add contact number of my client to user's mobile phone (obviously on click of a button), I was wondering if this is possible using jQuery, JS, Jquery Mobile or HTML 5, like by using <a href="tel:111222333">Call</a> we can bring up cell phone dialer etc, thanks in advance

Answer 1

You just can't store directly contact on the phone using js or html5 stuff.

What you can try is creating a vcf card server side and redirect the client to download this newly generated vcf card... I've haven't yet tested this solution, but I think it can work.

Answer 2

In iOS, phone numbers are automatically detected, even if they aren't tel links. When clicking them there are two options – call, or add to address book. This isn't something that you need to implement, the UA does it for you.
