# Important: The job contact phone link is dialable {#important-job-contact-phone-link-is-dialable}

## Description {#description}

The contact block of the job detail view wrote the stored contact phone number
into the link target unchanged, so a number stored the way a reader wants to
read it produced a target a device cannot act on: `+49 89 1234` became
`href="tel:+49 89 1234"`. The spaces are now removed from the target,
exactly as `EXT:academic_persons` has always done it for the phone numbers
of a profile; the visible link text keeps the stored spelling.

```html
before: <a href="tel:+49 89 1234">+49 89 1234</a>
after:  <a href="tel:+49891234">+49 89 1234</a>
```

The correction is about ordinary spaces and nothing else. What an editor types
is still what is stored, and it is still what the detail view and the new-job
form display. A number that carries other characters a dialer rejects — a slash
in `089/1234`, or a non-breaking space left behind by a copy-paste — was
undialable before and stays so.

## Impact {#impact}

The markup, its classes and the link text are unchanged; only the value of the
`href` attribute is. Nothing has to be configured or migrated.

An installation that overrides
`Resources/Private/Partials/Job/Contact.html` in its own site package
keeps its own output, and its own defect, until it drops the copy or applies
the same correction.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations that display a job detail view whose jobs carry a contact phone
number written with spaces.
