Did you ever want to make a phone list, but not enter them in your Contacts?

I did and I just found out a cool way to do it.

Just make a HTML document!

Here are the details. Create a new text file and rename it with a ".htm" extension. Make sure you can view all extensions on your computer. Then open it up in Notepad or any other text editor, and copy and paste the following:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Phone List</title>
</head>
<body>
My Buddy<br>
<a href="tel: (123)456-7890">(123) 456-7890</a><br>
My other friend<br>
<a href="tel: (222)222-2222">(222) 222-2222</a><br>

</body>
</html>

The key is the "tel:" in the href of the a tag! When you open up this file on your phone, it will open up inside Pocket Internet Explorer. When you select the phone number link, it will prompt you to ask if you want to dial this phone number. Click ok and it will dial away.

I thought it was a super slick way to create a personal phone list. Enjoy!

This is pretty interesting. Thanks for the post. I'll have to try this when my MPx220 comes in.
