Is there a way I can embed a URL link i.e. <a href='www.google.com'>google</a> in an SMS message send through [myphonenumber]@txt.att.net ? My mail configuration is set to "text/html" but the link shows up as un-clickable plain text in the SMS...

Any Ideas?!!?

Most phones will automatically linkify URLs, however it is not possible to give links the way you are trying to do. Simply send www.google.com and the receiving device will link it for you.
