Mobile browser incorrectly interprets text as a callable phone number


Does anybody know how to prevent mobile browsers from interpreting text as a phone number? I have a serial number that is displayed as a link that calls some garbage number if selected.

Its all caps and looks like: 200A (CDS100FG)

I would like to flag it so it just shows as plain text.

    works for iOS at least.
