[Bug 1442216] [NEW] Cannot call numbers received in SMS

 

Public bug reported:

Some SMS contain numbers of sufficient length that are obvious phone numbers (some even start from the + sign) but cannot be called from the application. They should be clickable, same way as URLs, which are recognized correctly. Or even better, Messaging app should search for possible owners of these numbers in Contacts app and give choice: open contact or call the number. There are two well known scenarios involving sending phone numbers through SMS:
1. A person sending a number to another person (a "mutual friend")
2. Carrier notification about a missed call.

** Affects: messaging-app (Ubuntu)
