create hyperlink in sms in iPhone

Is it possible to create a hyperlink in an sms in an iPhone?

For example, if I want the word 'foo' hyperlinked in HTML then I'll write <a href="http://foo.com">foo</a> in a normal situation.

If I want to have a certain word in my sms to be hyperlinked to something, is there any way I can do this? Like "I have a <a href="http://foo.com">surprise</a> for you" and the receiver taps on the hyperlinked word 'surprise' which will take the user to the destined page.

Any suggestions as to how this can be done? Examples and samples welcome!

Thanks in advance :)

To include a link in any text message, just type or paste the full URL into your text. Most messaging platforms will automatically turn the URL into a link that allows contacts to click and access the linked page.

No, you cannot use html tags in sms / text messages. All you can do is insert the URL without the tag. It then depends on the receivers device whether the URL is presented to the user as link or as plain text.
