It would be fantastic to be able to insert hyperlinks into words instead of sharing a full link like domainname.com/company link.

It will give you the ability to create messages in SMS longer, and it is much more user friendly.

I'm not sure if text formatting is possible with SMS like it is with email. I just checked the SMS messages I receive from different companies and organizations, and I noticed that none of them use HTML link anchors to make the links shorter and prettier. It's probably for security reasons, particularly to prevent phishing. Imagine a SMS supposedly sent by your bank, for instance, with a direct link you could immediately see if the URL address doesn't match your bank's domain name.

The SMS sent with your company name, Iˇve seen this, it s possible for sure with link shorteners. I donˇt see any perspective how to use service to get review for phishing? you will phish reviews only, that`s correct... the same can be applied for any links on the youtube where you see the shortened link but not a full link... So I don`t see here any problem. Here then can be the options applied to choose do you want to shorten the link or you want to send a full link. about the ability of using hyperlinks I am not sure if its possible..

Link shorteners yes, but link embedded into a word or phrase? That's what you mentioned in your original post.

When I mentioned phishing, I wasn't specifically talking about SMS sent from Climbo, but about the SMS protocol in general. It appears that SMS texts cannot be formatted, and links cannot be hidden behind a word or phrase like in HTML.

i'm not sure to understand?
Why not sharing a shorted URL?

Hi Julie, having the link on the word itself, like on "click here" is much better than "click here: domainname.com/companylink".
