  Hi there, firstly, let me mention that having a link that would automatically let people text you could be a bad thing. Spammers are continuously scanning websites and if they found it, you could end up with literally thousands of spam texts coming into your account, and if you did not have an unlimited text plan, that could get expensive. Also when this happens, you typically have to get a new number in order to stop it.

  This is the code that will, on most phones, will take the person clicking it to their messaging on their phone, but will not add the phone number automatically, they would have to copy/paste the phone number. This is the best way to avoid what I mentioned above.

  I would suggest against it, but if you want to have the phone number automatically put into the text messaging from someone’s phone, search for “sms text link” on Google and there are instructions on how to do that.
