i think this is an appropriate way to resolve this issue. it seems like 
iOS 4 has added support for sms:, and other mobile platforms might do 
that as well (or maybe they have done it already). i guess in the 
not-too-distant future, URI-based support for tel: and sms: URIs should 
be about the same, and should work on most mobile web platforms.

thanks and kind regards,
