Nothing is working! Id love some help figuring this out.

To test if something was wrong i confirmed that the tel and mailto work for calling and email.

I found the link below and well yea so it is documented to work right?

Ios development library-Text Link

Was it helpful?

Solution

Switch to Jquery Mobile (http://jquerymobile.com/). JQTouch is basically abandonware and is no longer maintained. Can't find any way to stop it from disabling sms: links.
