Talk:Click-to-call

Wrong Definition?
>''Click-to-call (CTC) is actually a misleading name for this technology in its most common 21st century implementation. "Click-to-call" technology now virtually always refers to a means for a web consumer to ask a website operator to call him or her. In other words, "click-to-call" would be more accurately referred to as "Request-a-Call,"''

I don't think this is right. Web_callback is a different thing from CTC with a different name. I share your critic though it can be called Click-to-talk when it comes from web page with a real time calling by simply a click or a touch on any Mobile or Tablet.

In fact, I do share both opinions, click-to-call is misused by a large number of web developers placing an icon of click to call on web pages, but when I click I don't get any operator at the other end, it simple display a form to fill in in order to request a call at later stage. Also several icon of click to talk, same issue. So this label of click2call or talk is no use at all. it is more clear to state "Request-a-Call" as mentioned above.

This is a correct definition, these days the term can refer to click-to-call resulting in a call-back as described, or triggering the smartphone dialer to make a cellular call using the native phone dialer. Ericlklein1776 (talk) 08:56, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

>Click-to-call, also known as click-to-talk, click-to-dial, click-to-chat and click-to-text

Completelly wrong, all these are different things.

Click-to-Call : This is the traditional "click here to get a call".

Click-to-Talk : This uses the PC audio and the user starts talking without an actual phone call.

Click-to-Dial : This opens the smartphone dialer and dials a number.

Click-to-Chat : This opens a tool for real-time transmission of text messages.

Click-to-Text : This opens the smartphone SMS tool and start a new text message.
