Also does not work for non-US numbers.

I am in the UK and if I, for example, copy to the clipboard a US number and 
send to phone it appears in my dialer.

However if I select a UK number (11 digits) the dialer does not launch and I 
get the web page!

UK numbers are 11 digits and appear in the following formats:

07777 777777 mobiles
01234 567890 landlines
020 7777 7777 london numbers 

Also there are numerous of regional variations

Would be great if this issue could also be resolved in the Gmail app where UK 
users are also unable to click on a number in an email to dial out - at least 
with the introduction of copy and paste it is a little better than before when 
I would have to write a number in my notepad before manually dialling out!

The phone number I was using was for auto repair with any of the numbers listed 
on this page.

I can't reproduce this problem on the latest APK. FYI, the regex to phone 
number detection is fairly loose: ^([Tt]el[:]?)?\s?[+]?(\(?[0-9|\s|-]\)?)+$

German style notation of telephone numbers are not working:
089 / 1234 - 0
089/1234
089/1234-0
When dialing of course dash and slash are removed :-)

Still not resolved for me.

I uninstalled from phone and Chrome extension, reinstalled  and am still 
getting the web page when sending to phone as opposed to phone number in dialer.

Just to confirm it does work when I select a USA number and then send to phone.
