The HTML provides mailto and tel attributes to create the mail and phone links. We can use them in href to create the links. The href provides other sub-attributes that define the other properties of the mailto and phone link.
Creating a Mailto Link
A mailto link is an easy way for users to contact website owners or anyone else directly from a webpage. When a user clicks on the mailto link, it opens their default email client with a new mail addressed to the specified email address. You can also prefill the subject and body text to save users time.
Syntax
<a href="mailto:EMAIL?cc=ANOTHER_EMAIL&bcc=ANOTHER_EMAIL&subject=SUBJECT&body=Demo email" target="_blank">Text_to_Show</a> Where -
mailto:Accepts the recipient's email address.cc:bcc:Optional parameter. Accepts one or more email addresses that will receive the blind carbon copy.subject:Allows you to assign a default subject to the mail.body:?:First parameter delimiter.&:
<a href=
"mailto:feedback@geeksforgeeks.org?cc=feedback@xyz.com&bcc=contact@xyz.org&subject=Mail to GeeksForGeeks&body=Demo email"
target="_blank">
Contact at GeeksForGeeks
</a>

Creating a Phone Link
Similar to mailto links, you can also create call links using the HTML anchor tag. When a user clicks on the call link, it redirects them to their default call app with the phone number pre-filled, so they can make calls directly.
Syntax
<a href="tel:+91123-456-7890"> call US </a>Where -
- tel: To redirect to a call app.
- callto: To open skype app.
- SMS: To send a Text message.
- fax: To send a fax.
<a href="tel:+91123-456-7890">
Contact on call

<a href="callto:+91123-456-7890">
