Making a telephone number clickable

I've made a telephone number clickable on one of my websites using the code that works with the iPhone:
<a href="tel:2223334444">(222) 333-4444</a>.
The problem is, of course, that non-iPhone users (not sure about other mobile devices) -- i.e. anyone using a desktop or laptop ("immobile users"? hmm..), gets an error message if they click on the same link. Assuming there's no way of making phone numbers clickable for both mobile and immobile users, how can I hide the link from immobile users so they don't click on it?

check the UA string server side and only enable the link for "mobile" devices and browsers.

Thanks for the reply, but I have to admit I don't know what this means: "check the UA string server side" -- how does on do that?

Depends on what server side code your hosting supports.

I've only seen clickable phone numbers when you have installed Skype.
I don't see how you will/can get a phone number to be clickable (make a call after click) on an iPhone.

Wouldn't you need to go through Apple's OSX for that?
