Best practice for phone numbers

Hey Everyone,


What's the best practice for presenting phone numbers? I know some screen
readers will read them off awkwardly. This blog post suggests using an
aria-label to correct this.

Would a phone link with or without an aria-label preferable? Does it make a
difference?



   1. <a href="tel:678839XXXX" aria-label="Phone Number:
   678.839.XXXX">678-839-XXXX</a>
   2. <a href="tel:678839XXXX">678-839-XXXX</a>


Also, is a phone link always preferable to plain text?


Thanks,


Jeremy
