There is a workaround that allows this to work by using JSON column formatting on a SharePoint list view. I came across this article and worked with Copilot to adjust it for tel: links instead of https links. We use Teams phone, and I was able to click on the tel: link to initiate a call in Teams. Article for reference (or to feed to your own Copilot): Create a Hyperlink using SharePoint Calculated Column
Copilot suggested some modifications, so I'm not using a calculated column, but instead just a single line of text column with the phone extension. Then this JSON formatting:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "a", "style": { "text-decoration": "none" }, "txtContent": "='📞 Call ' + [$Title]", "attributes": { "href": "='tel:' + [$Extension]" } }Here's what it looks like in the list view, with the column formatting panel visible.
You can then add it as a webpart to a page if you want.

This is not helpful, Schnittlauch. The OP clearly states that tel: doesn't work. Additionally I have the same issue and can't find any support.
