Regional settings and clicking a number to call in IE9

Dialing numbers listed on websites is supposed to be an easy job on Windows Phone. The OS basically highlights the numbers (like a hyperlink) and when you tap them, you get the standard "Edit phone number" screen and the pick to call said number. The system is based on detecting sets of 7,x or 11 numbers with their advisable hyphens, periods, etc.

Interestingly, some folks at XDA have discovered that this seemingly only works for Us devices. More specifically, devices who's 'Region format' settings nether 'Region + linguistic communication' are set for English (United States). Fifty-fifty folks in Canada plainly take this issue which is odd, to say the least.

call?

We tried the listing of numbers found in this mail at XDA with our The states region settings and they all worked fine except for the last number--just equally expected. When we switched to Republic of estonia (and rebooted) those numbers were now un-clickable just as others are reporting.

We're hesitant to phone call this a 'problems' because for all nosotros know Microsoft did this on purpose for some foreign reason. All the same, if you want this function, you can head to Settings --> Region + Language --> Region Format and change that to English language (United States) to become it to work for now every bit a workaround. And Microsoft, if this isn't on purpose then you may want to fix it for future updates, kthxbai!  As noted in comments, this is actually advertised as a US-only feature by Microsoft so if you want information technology, you lot'll have to apply the higher up trick to go information technology.
