Sending text messages/MMS with URL not sending

mztia100 — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 02:50:16 GMT

Anyone having issues with sending MMS or text messages that include a URL? I discovered that when I send a MMS message that includes https:// along with an image the messages were NOT going through. If I use www. It would work.

Then I tried sending a text with a Google form link and it never went through either. I was on the phone with my carrier over an hour trying to troubleshoot but with no real answers. Then I contacted Textra to see if something was wrong with app but they had me try other messaging apps such as Samsung messages and Google messages, same thing happens no matter the messaging app .

I don't use Textra at all for my Text messaging app, I am currently using Google messages Samsung dynamic and I have had no issues with sending website links at all, normally I don't use Https in front of my links, try installing Google carrier services just to see if that fixes the problem

I think I have discovered it's the bit.ly or the shortened links that might be the problem
