I can't say if Androids are getting the link or not. I'm sending the link as a text. I think iPhone is thinking it's spam.

It's really messing up my texting marketing strategy

Looks fine in Chrome on Android 13, though the legs have fallen off your fish.

It's happening during texting. How did you test the texting? LOL@legs

iPhone 8 iOS 16.2 works just fine.

Edit - bit of a formatting issue though. See screen shot below.

Someone needs to proofread. These kinds of mistakes in marketing materials are not a good look.

Thanks guys and thanks for finding the typo the problem is on my end I've discovered and it's texting it. Google is filtering it as spam

What text message service do you guys use?

I'm not sure why it's doing that on the iPhone it's not doing that on my Android. Using HTMLy

I say the following simply because it's true: None.

I have always found marketing information, regardless of the delivery mechanism, from companies I do business with to be supremely annoying and, essentially, spam.

My feeling, from my end, is, "Don't call me, I'll call you if I need you. And I don't need reminders that you exist."

If your marketing is opt-in, that's an entirely different kettle of fish. But if it's opt-out (even though that's great when respected) you will have annoyed customers who won't come out and say this.

These are people with whom I already have a relationship. I understand your frustration completely believe me.

The black bar on @Markverhyden screenshot is there because the "mobile responsive" is set at 709 pixels wide and below - but Markverhyden is likely at a wider width on his screen.. so he's being served the "desktop version" (Notice the W x H numbers in top right corner):

Would suggest trying to change the mobile change point to 749-760 wide or something like that.




Mark is likely using the Apple Webkit Safari Browser - which oft has small issues like this - whereas the Google Chrome Browser seems to "pop" into mobile mode more readily based on the site's availability of a mobile version (It will seek that out). My brand new Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 1440 wide screen, yet I still get the mobile, non-black bar site in Chrome on the Phone.


The desktop version only has a slight difference with '::before" and '::after" appearing in the HTML that cause CSS to produce the black border.

My mms provider is ATT. @phaZed is correct. I was using Safari, which is webkit, on my iPhone. The site does render properly Chrome on iOS. But this second visit I noticed another issue. The website header is cut off on the right in both Chrome and Safari.

That's on a iPhone 8 whose screen isn't as wide as other new phones. It's fine on a iPhone 13, which has a slightly wider screen, 2.81" vs 2.65"
