How to select javascript tab using Selenium?

I'm trying to achieve a tab of Send sms, Hope this image will help you, what i'm looking for. Please see here.

So, here is source code:

<li id="sendSMS" class="active">
   <a href="javascript:loadSMSPage('sendSMS');">Send SMS</a>
</li>

Now, I tried this source code:

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Send SMS")).click();

Unfortunately, This is NOT working :(

Please help, Surely help would be appreciated!

I don't usually rely on linkText that much Try using xpath with text based search

also, try this 

//li[@id='sendSMS']/a

By byXpath = By.xpath("//a[.='Send SMS']");
WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
  .until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(byXpath);
myDynamicElement.click();

EDIT: Added explicit wait
