This is the 100% guaranteed solution if you are using Phonegap (tested in iOS 6).

To open external URL in Safari, do following:

1. Add your link in External Host (white list). e.g.: http://google.com/
2. In Cordova.plist or Phonegap.plist, change OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView from Yes to No.

3. In your application, add target="_blank" to your link. Example:

   Google.com
