    I found the issue and I fixed it. The issue was I used the IP address that will disable the link when using the IP. After I changed into the domain it's working.

    $smsMsg = notifications::where('sms_subject','Student Register Link')->first();
    
            if($request->stud_nic!="")
            {
                $student = students::where('st_nic', $request->stud_nic)->first();
    
                $studName = $student->st_fname;
                $phone = $student->st_phone;
                $studNic = $request->stud_nic;
    
                $nic = Hash::make($studNic[0]);
                $link = "http://testing.com/StudentCount/".$nic;
                $addName = str_replace("{{name}}",$studName,$smsMsg->message);
                $addNic = str_replace("{{link}}",$link,$addName);
                $newMsg = urlencode($addNic);
    
                $api = "https://sms-gateway-api.php?key=".$key."&acc=".$acc."&type=".$type."&phone=".$phone."&text=".$newMsg;
                $response = file_get_contents($api);
            }

    Links, phone numbers, etc are usually detected by your messaging application (they parse the text, and if it feels its a link/phone number, it makes them clickable), and text messages are usually just plaintext. There is no standard way to format them.

    So most likely your SMS application is not detecting it. Try sending it to some other device, maybe it might detect the link. But there’s no guarantee it will work on every SMS application
