I'm not sure you can. Use a 'Contact me' form instead.

Is it safe to add an image or icon with a link to the phone number via "smart links"?

I think bots cannot read from image just my opinion

At one time displaying a email address in a image was effective but with todays modern bots they use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to convert images into text and extract information making it readable to them.
Also if the telephone number is anywhere in the source of the html then it can be scraped by the bot and read.

There is methods that use obfuscation to hide the likes of emails and telephone numbers with javascript.
See the following example using JS Concatenation insert into the <body></body> of your oage to test

Code: Select all

<script>document.write('m'+'e'+'@'+'e'+'m'+'a'+'i'+'l'+'.'+'t'+'e'+'s'+'t'+'i'+'n'+'g'+'i'+'t'+'o'+'u'+'t'+'t'+'o'+'s'+'e'+'.'+'c'+'o'+'m');</script>
