    Is it possible to have a button that will open a page that someone could send a text message from their cell phone?

    Maybe the Cell Phone Number? At least in my cell phone I can open either the telephone or the SMS function after the click on the cell phone number.

    You just need an option to use <a href="sms://+14035550185">Send an SMS</a>

    Here’s an article that spells out exactly what I’m looking for: https://thenewcode.com/856/Send-a-SMS-Text-From-A-Link

    The reader comments that appear at the end of the article offer additional ideas.

    I found a free resource that can easily create what I’m looking for and hoped that the Speed Contact Bar plugin could be updated to tie into this resource: https://www.zipwhip.com/clicktotext

    Thank you for the notices. I will implement the SMS link. Please be patient.

    Thanks, Martin! You’re the best.

    Will you post notice of that update in this thread so that I can implement it on my website? I’m probably losing a number of potential clients who try to send text messages through my business landline. Unfortunately, the sender does not get notification that they’re trying to text message a landline and since I don’t know it, I can’t respond.

    No worry, I will inform you here about the upgrade.

    You can use the SMS icon with the currently published version 6.3. If you like the plugin I would be glad about your review.
