Are you able to long press on phone numbers on websites and call that number?

Say there's a phone number in the body of a site, among text, how do you call that number?

You don’t even have to long press. If the iPhone recognises it as a number you click it and a menu appears. You can call it.

Thanks Gary, I do web design and a client is claiming none of the phone numbers work.

He sent a video today with and he's tapping the number, nothing happens. I suggested long press, which he did. For a split second a menu popped up which he quickly tapped away. His system fonts are huge so it just said copy and select all, with an arrow pointing right, I suspect 'call number' is in that section but his fonts are too big to show it on screen and he lacks the patience to explore.

I don't really want to go through the whole site and link all the numbers so they're tappable and assumed most people would know how to call a number. lol.

Appreciated.

Does your links have the following format (example) ??

Code: 
<a href="tel:01234567890">01234567890</a>

They do now ;)
I'm using shortcodes to display different numbers for different locations so it was easier to edit the php than go through and change all the numbers manually.
