tel: is already supported. sms: is not yet supported, and may not be
supported in the initial software release, but is the planned initial
public "API" for messaging and should not be complicated to support.
I've made sure we try to prioritize it for an early update. We do not
intend to expose the capability to directly send SMS to store-using
applications for the reasons Jonni mentioned earlier. However: this
does not restrict people from hacking around with the functionality on
their own devices.

The Messaging API from Qt Mobility never made the transition to the Qt
5 world, and we have no intentions of working on this at this time.

BR,
