I have been looking for a way to send a hyperlink of a URL with a different appearance to a mobile phone via SMS or MMS.
The only example of this that i can think of is the following:
[url=http://www.google.co.uk]Click Here[/url]
So the above code will show:
Click Here
when you click the ‘Click Here’ link it will open up http://www.google.co.uk.
Is there anyway that this can be replicated by using SMS or MMS?
As far as I know, there is not a generally accepted specification for rendering text messages with modern content. Though certain mobile operating systems (or rather messaging applications to be precise) might support inline links, it is not fail-proof and it won’t work on every device.
Also, those smart-ish applications would not rely on a custom syntax but rather search for urls and make those clickable. That means it’s not possible to set a custom text for a hyperlink in this context.
