I am building my website from scratch and after looking on many forums i have not been able to identify how to make it working.
I was curious if somebody could point me in to the right direction to create something like this: at the end of an info page i created, i want to add button that says "call me now", and after the user clicks on the button a call is connected between the client and the agent so the two can talk. This is for a website on WordPress. How can i do that? Are there plugins? I researched call me button but nothing came up. |

It's called the tel: protocol. See for instance here: https://css-tricks.com/the-current-state-of-telephone-links/ .
You could style the link to look like a button or you could wrap the link around BUTTON. CODE <a href="tel:12345567"><button>Call us!</button></a> |

Don't forget a real phone number as well, not everybody browse with a phone...

Absolutely, but it sounds like this is sort of an internal thing and everyone uses SIP. But even if that's the case, a visible number can probably be a good idea.

thanks for your responses but I guess i used the wrong words.
what i want to do is this: once the client clicks on the button "call me now" the server starts two calls, one to the agent and one to the client and connects them, something like you find on the amazon website. |

No idea. I don't even get what the advantage is, but I've never used SIP. But I have a feeling if you find a solution it won't be so much about the link.

Are you sure you want your server involved in phone calls (why, and how)? Also I don't know what you mean with Amazon, a quick look didn't turn up any phone numbers at their site. The tel: link that pandy suggested will simply launch the phone's call app, then I guess the rest is handled by the cell operators. |

Or the computer's. You can configure what application it should bring up. So why not whatever is used for SIP?
