Hi Kelly,
The other comments how to check are good, but if you go that route, be sure use an else for some sort of default url since they may not be on the device you are expecting.
The issue is that you will not have OS for every number and the OS you do have will not necessarily be iOS or Android. What you will be relying on from the examples would be the last seen device and that might not be related to the phone at all. Don't forget that there are also non-mobile was to receive SMS like google voice or their ISP like Comcast/Xfinity.
You could populate both urls, but of course that might put you over on message blocks, so my suggestion would be to create a landing page with both the iOS and Android options you want to offer and think to that in the SMS (be sure to use UTM's or other url parameters for tracking).
Hope this helps!
Best,
Ted
