Clink on link in text message?

June 17, 2007 12:56 PM

Someone has sent me a text message on my cell phone with a url link in it. How do I "click" on the link to make it go to the mobile web? I have Verizon as my service and I do have the mobile web service with them. My cell phone is the Verizon enV. Thanks.

You couldn't find the answer to this in the manual?

Sadly, there is no way to click on a link in a text message with a Verizon phone which uses BREW as its operating system, as the enV does. The only way to actually access the URL that was sent to your phone would be to copy it down and type it into the web browser by hand.

honeyx, have you read a cellphone manual recently? They include instructions in about three different languages for how to press various buttons and maybe, if you're lucky, how to check your voicemail.

Didn't have much trouble with the one on the phone I bought last month.
