Disable telephone anchor

I'm developing a web application using PhoneGap that will be distributed to several mobile OS including iOS.

When I generate the application to iOS the numeric values with at least 7 digits are modified to telephone anchors, in order to "fix" this I've attached the following event handler:

$( 'a[href^="tel"]' ).live( 'click', function() {
    return false;
});

This code works fine except when I use jQuery Mobile, any idea why?

Try to add this to your header

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
