<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">never thought about, there could be such a fuctionality (initiating a phone call, out of kaddressbook), but that sounds very interesting for me. </p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">So I started investigating:</p>

<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">In an opensuse forum I found the following thread, the question there was how to change from skype to kdeconnect, very similar to your problem:</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;"><a href="https://forums.opensuse.org/t/kdeconnect-as-default-app-in-kaddressbook-for-phone-call/146469">https://forums.opensuse.org/t/kdeconnect-as-default-app-in-kaddressbook-for-phone-call/146469</a></p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The proposed solution is to change settings in <span style="font-family:Hack;">~/.config/mimeapps.list.</span></p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">As an example the output of a grep command is given:</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;"><snip></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">>$ grep -P '(skype|kdeconnect)' ~/.config/mimeapps.list </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">x-scheme-handler/callto=**skype**forlinux.desktop </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">x-scheme-handler/**skype**=**skype**forlinux.desktop </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:12;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">x-scheme-handler/tel=org.kde.**kdeconnect**.handler.desktop</p>
<p> </snip></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:12;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I think the important entry is the one for the tel-protocol</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">But perhaps changing the standard app for phone number in system settings already solves your problem.</p>

<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">An additional question to Rainer:</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Im using the same version of kaddressbook as you: 6.3.3 (24.12.3).</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">How do you start a phone call? When I click on a phone number I get an error message from KIOexec, saying "unknown protocol 'tel'". And indeed, there seem to be no KIO-module for this protocol, at least on my notebook.</p>
<br /><br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Kind regards,</p>
