Use a format value filter

2 fields

add_filter('acf/format_value/name=phone_field', 'convert_phone_to_link', 20, 3);
function convert_phone_to_link ($value, $post_id, $field) {
  if (!$value) {
    // no value
    return $value;
  }
  // get the tel link field
  $tel_link = get_field('tel_link_field')
  if (!$tel_link) {
    // no link
    return $value;
  }
  $value = '<a href="tel:'.$tel_link.'">'.$value.'</a>';
  return $value;
}

1 field

add_filter('acf/format_value/name=phone_field', 'convert_phone_to_link', 20, 3);
function convert_phone_to_link ($value, $post_id, $field) {
  if (!$value) {
    // no value
    return $value;
  }
  // assumes US number
  $tel_link= '+1'.preg_repace('/[^0-9]/', '', $value);
  $value = '<a href="tel:'.$tel_link.'">'.$value.'</a>';
  return $value;
}
