<a href="tel:0044201111111">0044201111111</a>

For Skype this reportedly works:

<a href='callto:0044201111111'>0044201111111</a>

Support is not tested by me and seems to vary have varied,
but should be better now, according to:

=============================

Now for Whatsapp I use something like this,
HRM being 91 years old now, please substitute another number:

var hrm = "https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=0044201111111&text=HRM";

<a onclick='window.open(hrm)'>Whatsapping to HRM</a>

This even works on my desktop, both the extension and the windows app.
