tel: and wtai: links are "unknown or unsupported" in Opera on the PC.

Are such links supported in the mobile version of Opera?

That depends on the device. Unknown URL schemes are usually defered to the
operating system, which has to decide whether it supports it or not.

You can enable them manually on the desktop version by selection Tools -
Preferences - Programs and paths - Add.

Then, on the PC, it would be a good idea for someone like Skype to
implement tel: and wtai:. Or for Microsoft to implement the same
protocols for their Phone Dialer and Address Book.
