I need to deliver the same behaviour if I clicked `tel:+4842566` link by myself. The default telephony application should call the number nothing more.

I managed that besides that new tab opens. I wrote:

```
function Call(){
    window.open("tel:+4842566",'_blank');     
}

```

and this:

```
function Call(){
    window.open("tel:+4842566");     
}

```

and this:

```
  function Call(){
        document.getElementById('mymailto').click();
    }

<a href="tel:+48123456" id="mymailto" style="display:none"></a>

```

Results are the same. Computer calls the number but new tab is openned.

**Question:** Is it possible to invoke/open this link without new tab/window?

**EDIT:** Before I tried to run this client side I did it on server side but did not realise that when I deploy application it is not the client who will be calling:

```
public ActionResult Call(int id, string number) {
  System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    string formattedNumber = "tel:+48" + formatPhoneNumber(number);
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("NUMBER " + formattedNumber);
    proc.StartInfo.FileName = formattedNumber;
    proc.Start();
    Person person = db.Persons.Find(id);
    return RedirectToAction("Edit", new Person { Id = id });
}

```

but then I didn't get new tab, maybe it will help somehow.

**EDIT 2:**
I don't simply look for href link cause launching `tel:` link is only one of 2 things that happen at the same time:

```
<p>@Html.ActionLink("Call Cell Phone", "Call", new { id = Model.Id, number = Model.CellNumber }, new { @class = "btn btn-default", onclick = "Call();" })</p>

```

I go to the controller action and invoke `Call()` javascript method and JavaScript method is the only place that simple openning any link can be done.
