How to call an SMS message on a Windows Phone 7.5 website?

Question

This is easy for iOS, Android, and even BlackBerry OS, just using the sms: prefix in your href attribute, for example:

 <a href="sms:0046730123456">Send an SMS to [phone]</a> 

This launches an SMS application with a number pre-populated on the previously mentioned platforms. But on WP7.5 using Internet Explorer, we get an error that the URL scheme is not supported. Someone on the network hinted at smsto: but that didn't work either.

Answer 1

You must use javascript injection to get the link click event, the solution is similar to here.
