I cloned the ionic project from GitHub
While the contact's phone number is not clickable to call and message. So for the index.html file line 39, I converted from
<p ng-if="contact.emails.length > 0">{{contact.emails[0].type}} : {{contact.emails[0].value}}</p>
to
<p ng-if="contact.phones.length > 0">{{contact.phones[0].type}} : <a ng-href='{{contact.phones[0].value}}'>{{contact.phones[0].value}}</a></p>
But it turns out the app will not load any contact's information anymore.
Is there anything I missed or am I totally wrong on sending data?

All that the anchor tag needs to have passed is href="tel:numberwithnospacesordashes". – tuckerjt07 Commented Aug 3, 2015 at 1:30
- In fact could you throw the controller code that populates those values up as well? It will help with diagnosis. – tuckerjt07 Commented Aug 3, 2015 at 1:31
- Did you install plugin ? cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.contacts ? – macrog Commented Aug 13, 2015 at 9:21

Reset to default 8to make phone call with ionic you need to add this code in confi.xml
<access launch-external="yes" origin="tel:*" />
and in your view you need to add:
<a ng-href=tel:{{user.phoneNumber}} class="button button-positive">Call me</a>
Update:
I've just noticed it's (probably) an issue with loading data not the link itself. Would need to see your controller code to know more about why it's not populating the ng-href if it's not the issue below...
Previously:
Using the following href should be enough to trigger a call:
tel:' + number
Angular (which ionic sits on) doesn't like anything unusual going into an anchors href unless you tell it you want it to. See here:
http://forum.ionicframework./t/ng-href-tel-redirecting-to-call-with-empty-number/4567/2
The quickest fix, if you 'just' want it to work is this in your view:
<p ng-if="contact.phones.length > 0">{{contact.phones[0].type}} : <a href="#" ng-click="triggerCall('{{contact.phones[0].value}}')">{{contact.phones[0].value}}</a></p>
and then in your controller:
$scope.triggerCall = function(number){
document.location.href = 'tel:' + number
}
