Laurentiu Macovei, 2024-09-03Setting I use is tel:{0}-{1}-{2}-{3}
Only bug with this extension is every few days it goes back to detail settings.
If you use a Tel Link format for a custom domain, that is saved, but that is ignored. Instread it uses default settings.

Baldeep Birak, 2023-11-08It's next to perfect, my only issue is that it doesn't open in a new window!
You may consider adding target="_blank" or an option to do this! Thanks
