2,462 Pointscan you use an area code on phone numbers?
your example of the phone number 555-6425 doesn't include any area code. I am assuming that it is ok to add an area code. Is this true?

Yes you can add the area code.
It should look something like this
<a href="tel:+15555551212">(555)555-1212</a>
The plus sign is necessary if you want the number to be able to be dialed from outside the country.
