Hi,
I'm trying to put a link in a web page to send a sms, here what I've done:
<a href="sms:?body=hello world">Send sms</a>
This link works great in a w810. When I click it, it opens the sms window with "hello world" written, and I can type the number to send. Also works in some nokia devices
But when I try to put a link in the body, link http://myserver.com/mail or http://myserver/User?uid=10
it doesn't have the expected results, the first link only shows "mail" and the second just "User"
In nokia devices it shows the wholle link.
When I use http://myserver.com it shows ok, in all devices.
the problem is only when it has a " / " in the link.
any solution to that?
does that occurs in new sony-ericsson devices?
thanks

Did you try encoding all characters such as "/" and "?" ?. If the browser supports it, it should do the trick.
On the other hand, if a users sends an sms to another user with a URL, nothing assures you that the recipient's device will support clicking on a text URL in an sms message. The proper technology for this would be a wappush, but you should send it from your server and covering the costs.

Depending on the programming language you use, there should be a function to do it automatically for you. Anyway I found a wikipedia page that should help you, see Percent-encoding

Glad to head it Otavio.
Stay on the forums, ask more questions if you have, and even better answer other user questions and you will certainly have more than one chance to return the favour.
