Why am I not able to open links within my gmail account?

[AC Question]

I have an Alcatel OneTouch Icon Pop and use gmail. I can open my emails, and do all other functions, but I am not able to open the links within any of my emails. Has anyone else had this problem before and how can I fix it? I'm not sure if it's the way my phone is set up or if it's gmail. Very frustrated; please help.

Welcome to Android Central! Are the links showing up blue (meaning that they are true hyperlinks) or do they look black like the rest of the text?
