I believe it's much more low-tech than that. Some phones already
implement a solution: they display the contents of a phoneto link before
dialing.
So for example if you get a prank email like
<a href="phoneto:119">Click here to meet fun people</a>
Then clicking on the link displays a message like
Click confirm to dial 119, cancel to return to browsing.
