sms: link with alphabetical parameters interpreted as numbers on Samsung Galaxy S7

Question

I have a link on my website to open up a text with a new message. The following link works on most Android phones:

sms:5555555555?body=JOIN

But on the Galaxy S7, the ?body=JOIN parameter is interpreted to be a part of the phone number itself, as if the letters we input on a keypad. So the example above, would open up a new message to the phone number: 555555555526395646 and an empty message body.

I don't have an s7 myself so it's difficult to debug. Any ideas what else I can try to make it work as expected on the s7?
