dial to contacts or phone number from RTM mobile/android/iphone

I have many items on my @Calls task list.
Currently it is annoying to execute on the list - make the phone call:
1) click the task
2) edit the task
3) long-press the phone number: number is selected
4) long-press the number again - popup menu opens
5) select Copy
6) go to Dialer
7) paste the phone number and call

Suggestion:
==========
1) define tasks, or an entire list of tasks as Phone-Call Tasks

2) such task would have a big phone icon next to it (should be driver-friendly). clicking on it would dial the number in the task subject
OR -
the phone number appear as links - clicking them dials the number

3) nice to have: if the task conains a contact name, lookup the contact in the phone book
(if I have more than one "John Doe" in my contacts, let me pick from a list)

Hi avner.linder,
While phone numbers are not currently recognized in the name of a task, they will be recognized if you enter them in the Notes of a task. From there, you can tap on the phone number to dial it. Hope that helps!

Also, if you haven't already, you may want to vote for this feature in our Ideas forum here.

Thanks for your feedback!
