How to enable links in text messages

Hi all, I recently received a text from my network provider with a link for an application in it, However I can't open the link the option does not appear all it says is delete. Is there any way I can enable links in my phone

Whilst in the message press options > automatic find - set it to on.

You will now see the link highlighted in the message. Pressing up should allow you to select it.

Sounds like something may be wrong with your phone if that option has vanished, possibly caused by 3rd party software or possibly a random bug.

 

Does the option appear if you open another totally unrelated SMS message in your inbox (preferably one that contains a number or link)?  If so enable it then return to the other message.

 

If not then you may want to consider the various resets to see if that makes the option return.  The feature has been standard on S60 phones for many years now.

 

This thread show someone who had a similar problem:

it did thanks. I went into a completely random message and selected auto find on, then went back to the text with the link in it and it opened it first time THANKYOU
