How do I handle phone numbers?

[davidgtu]

I have a Link component that uses Next/Link and I'm passing in a telephone number formatted like this: tel:+15555555555

However I get an error:

Invalid href passed to router: tel:+15555555555

Are telephone numbers not supported?

From the docs :

External URLs, and any links that don't require a route navigation using /pages, don't need to be handled with Link; use the anchor tag for such cases instead.

With other words, you do not need a next link for tel. just use a regular a with href
