Limitations 

Limitations 

These links are only supported for certain ISPs and devices. For example, SMS links (i.e., sms:+19999999999) are supported in Apple Mail but are not fully supported in all versions of Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook. Additionally, recipients who open an SMS or phone number link on a desktop, rather than a mobile device, may not have a messaging or calling app installed. For this reason, it's important to make sure your phone number or email address is visible in the message you send, so recipients can manually type it in if necessary.
