Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

For phone calls, I think you just use the standard tel: URI schema. So ...
Let me google ... yes, that's correct. There's a similar format for SMS links. Here's a page that tells you how to do it:

And here's a link that shows you how to use google.

The easiest way to do it would be to use something like a calc to create those simple links from your number element.
I'm not sure how you would do it from a button. I think you would need to load an Android Javascript class, and call an "Intent" by hand. That's how applications tell Android they want something done - they fire off an Intent (like "make a phone call"), and any application which handles that will be listening for that intent. Like you dialler.
By using a simple link with a tel: or sms: schema, you avoid those issues of having to code it yourself, as the browser will do it for you.

Like I said in my last post, you could use a calc:
And as per the wiki docs for the calc element, you could use simple placeholders to insert your number element value into the value the calc returns like ...
Then display that calc element wherever you need the clickable link, instead of the number element.

PHP:
return "<a href='tel:{yourtable___yourphone}'>{yourtable___yourphone}</a>";Then display that calc element wherever you need the clickable link, instead of the number element.
