Abstract
A telephony client application may dynamically generate call links to trigger calls from a web page. The telephony client application may detect web browsing activity on a personal computer and analyze incoming page data for text elements indicating contact numbers. Upon identification of possible contact numbers, the page data may be 'enhanced' or modified to include links to trigger a call to the contact number. The web browser may display the enhanced page. If the user selects one of the links, the telephony client application may send a request, to a service provider, to initiate communication with the selected contact number. In some configurations, a user may specify preferences for selecting a preferred phone number to originate the call. Accordingly, calls may be placed with a click on an enhanced web page from a desktop as if the user is placing a call from a mobile phone.
