Sending URL Through an SMS

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could provide an explanation of why I cannot send the url to my website in a text message? I want to share my web app to family and friends, but when I send it, it never reaches their phones and I get no feedback.

Thanks everyone!

Hi there, hopefully I can help. What service are you using to send the sms? Have you checked for errors when doing the api call?

Not sure how you are going about this, but this is how I send text messages from my app. I use SMTP since carriers like T-Mobile accept messages via email (number@tmomail.net). Is it entirely possible the URL is being blocked/filtered on the receiver's end?

That's possible. You should ask T-Mobile.
