That's one of the features you give up when you customize the first page of the contact form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm

Thanks for the reply.
I read the article however I have not used Visual Basic and have no idea how
to proceed.
My knowledge is basic but I am willing to follow instructions. Could you
give me some step by step instructions on how to add this script please.

There's no script to add. It is not possible to display the phone dialog programmatically.
