Is it possible to write ASP .NET website which will call a telephone number by Skype or an alternative

I need to create a crm website available from Windows browser which can call a number(telephone number) in a text field via Skype or alternative to Skype.

Is that even possible that HTML website? Is calling from Skype or alternative must be done on a clients computer by standalone Form application?

I will be calling only real phone numbers.

There is a very easy solution when just using html.

When you create a hyperlink starting with tel: (instead of http: or mailto:) it will open the default calling program, possibly Skype.

<a href="tel:+1123456789">Call me!</a>

There is a company called RebTel which offers a similar service to Skype, but they provide an SDK for access to calling called sinch.

Check out https://developer.rebtel.com/

Note that this will cost money.

This is something different from a real phone call. When we do a hyper-link, this simply invokes an associated calling program and that's it.

But if we really want to call from our computer, then we need a solution similar to a IVR Card from dialogic or similar hardware sellers where we connect our telephone wire RJ11 to our system and have a program running which can make calls through that line.

We can also have a GSM Modem connected to the system with capability for making such calls, though I haven't used them except for sending/receiving SMS.

The other option is to have a SIP Server which will have such phone provisions and will be able to receive digital voice and convert to analog and vice versa.

So when we have such a link we need a program (and/or hardware setup) to really make such calls.
