SMS URL Scheme Support in S40 browser 2.2.0.0.33

[CuteMac2007]

Hi,

I am trying to use SMS URL scheme in my web site which targets Nokia devices, yet it is not working. I am testing on Asha 311 with browser version 2.2.0.0.33, yet ir is giving me "Sms is not a registered protocol" message.

The documentation mentions this is supported since browser version 1.5 so I am wondering what I am doing wrong. I have tried this

<a href="sms:+35801234567?body=hello%20world">SMS</a>

and many other alternative (with body field and without), I tried also with smsto and none is working.

I am not sure what is the issue here, if this is supported in the S40 broswer at all, and only work in web apps as I am developing a normal web site, and i am failing to have this work at all.

Appreciating your support

Hi Kareem and welcome to forum!

I'm sorry to say, but SMS handler is only supported in Web Apps side.

Ilkka is the expert. I suspect if there had been a workaround (other than loading the site through a web app) he would have listed it.

Ikka,

The SMS handler in Web Apps is broken.
Previously before Nokia S40 browser was updated, the "sms:123?body=hello" is working in web apps/S40 browser as well as S60 browser.
After S40 browser was being forced to be updated, "sms:123?body=hello" is no longer working in web apps/S40 browser. But it is still working in S60(including Belle) browser.

Please advice.

Hi 11popo,

Unfortunately I don't know a solution for your problem. The best way to get help is to post a question to Nokia Support Discussions:

Ilkka,

• browser version = 2.0.0.68.14 (after forced update)
• Nokia Asha model = Nokia Asha 302
• Nokia firmware = V 14.53 20-03-12 RM-813
• Nokia product code = 059L157ET26hD219

Unfortunately I do not have information on the default/original browser version number. I hope that the product code or firmware can help you to identify the original/default browser.

Problem with Nokia S40 Browser: unable to support "sms:123?body=hello". After clickin on the SMS URL, the phone displays a screen "create message" option. By right, the phone should automatically compose a SMS with "To:123" and "Body: hello"

Background: we had developed a web app thats create a geo-tagged SMS, it worked the first time. But after S40 browser was forced to be updated, it no longer works.

Thanks for helping.

KL

I wish to add to my comment in this thread and to confirm that Asha/S40 browser no longer supports SMS URI e.g. "sms:+123?body=hello" or "sms:+123"
Asha will show an error message "protocol not supported".

However, in Nokia Belle browser, it works.
