iPhone turns HTML links into telephone number links

iphone

On the iPhone, HTML links of numbers are converted to telephone number links. That means whenever a number with more than 7 digits has an anchor HTML link, and the link is clicked on your iPhone, your handset will attempt to make a phone call to the telephone number.

There is a meta tag that you can use that will ignore these links on the iPhone or on the iPad.
