Send sms via Twilio with url
Question
I'm using twilio to send SMS messages.
In the message I have an URL but instead of showing the entire URL (which works) I want something like "Click here" which is the URL.
To clarify:
What my SMS is now: Follow this link: http://www.someurl.com
What I want: Click here to ...
Where "Click here" is the url ie http://www.someurl.com

Twilio evangelist here.
Since there is no such thing as "markup" in an SMS, there is no way to create HTML-style hyperlinks. The fact that a string of characters in the SMS message is recognized and becomes a hyperlink is completely dependent upon the device having that capability.
Hope that helps.

As Devin says, you can't, SMS messages are pure text, not html. What you could do is use an off-the-shelf, or custom, url shortener (ie. bit.ly) if you want the urls to either be shorter, or personalized.
