How to Send Links by SMS

Sending Links from One Phone to Another
1. Contact your cell phone provider by calling its customer support line or visiting your account on the phone provider's website to enable Internet capabilities. Make sure that your recipient also has Internet access on her phone in order to view any links you send.
2. Click 'Create a message' on your phone and then select 'New Message.' In the body of the text message, enter the Web URL. You do not need to include the 'http://' prefix.
3. Select 'Send to' and then click on the desired contact from your phone book, or enter the recipient's phone number manually. Click 'Send' again to send the message. When the recipient opens the message, he can click on the link itself. An option to 'View' or 'Go to' the site should appear. If he clicks again, he will open the page on his phone's Web browser.

4. Visit an online text messaging service (see References). Enter the recipient's phone number, including area code, without dashes. Type the subject of your text message in the 'Subject' line, if you desire.
5. Open the desired Web page in another window and click on the address bar to highlight its link. Right-click and select 'Copy.' Return to the text message service window and right-click in the body of the text message. Select 'Paste' to paste the address into the message, or type the address in manually. Through all SMS or text-messaging services, your message is usually restricted to 200 characters.
6. Select the recipient's cell phone provider. This will format the message accordingly so that the recipient can view it. Click 'Send' or 'Send Free Text Message!' when you are finished.
