Capture more leads by adding a Click To Text SMS link to your mobile website. As you can use <href> tag to link to web pages or initiate a phone call, similarly it's possible to create a link that would initiate a text message.
To format a link to initiate SMS is very simple:
<a href="sms://+1800605xxxx">Send a SMS</a>
<a href="sms://27126">Send a SMS</a>
And When a visitor taps on the following link with a body on a smartphone, a new text message will open with a pre-filled recipient and message content.
<a href="sms://+1800605xxxx?&body=I%27m%20interested%20in%20your%20product.%20Please%20contact%20me.">Send a SMS</a>
If you noticed, we have "?&" after the texting number, which is required, since "?" works for Andriod devices and "&" works for iOS, but having both you don't need to know the device type and it works for both.
*Make sure to add Msg& Data rates may apply and texting T&C on your website.
You can link any of the following HTML elements:
- Text
- Your site's navigation
- Images
- Buttons
The support can vary on a different platform; we tested with Android and iOS 8+ devices and it worked fine.
