Description Juha Tuomala 2020-05-28 10:19:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
Browsers have tel: urls with phone numbers, that allow calling those phone numbers by clicking them. 

Physical dekstop phones require network operations to trigger that call, which KDE doesn't support and hence an external program is required.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a desktop phone
2. write 200 lines of Python code to send an XML object to phone
3. try call using tel: URI.

OBSERVED RESULT
A KDE Connect popup dialog appears asking to choose a device, which there are none.

EXPECTED RESULT
A person at the other end of the line.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
