I need to send SMS via my app to the contacts of my iPhone Address Book. In that, there are few contacts which are not saved with the names and few have only email ids. I need to fetch contacts only with name and phone numbers both. How can I do that? Any sample code will be helpful!

I'm trying to figure out how to send a SMS from Flutter without using a SIM CARD.
I have a list of contacts followed by the password of each user stored in two seperated Columns in Excel sheet, I'm trying to read these contact in flutter than send the password of each user via SMS services.
Almost every plugin requires a SIM card, but my app would be so much better if its a desktop app.
Thank you.
You can use a service like Twilio to set up a phone number that can be used to send texts. This works by interfacing with the Twilio API over the internet to send your request (what number you want to text, and what the sms content should be, etc) and then Twilio will send the corresponding text message.
Email a Text
Another method, albeit clunkier compared to the others in this article, is to send a text message via email. Each wireless carrier has an email formula for doing so. For example, to send a text message (SMS) to an AT&T user, email "number#txt.att.net," but replace "number" with a 10-digit phone number. To send an MMS (multimedia message, such as a photo) email "number#mms.att.net." Check with the carrier or reference this list of carrier email addresses.
The issue here is the email could end up in the recipients' spam folder or get lost in the shuffle since it will look differently from standard email addresses. You must also know which carrier the recipient uses.

I have get the contacts from gmail,hotmail and yahoo email providers.
And i want to get contacts from any domain email addresss which users enter in a textbox. Is it feasible?
For example,
Here we can see the hotmail contact import: https://techjoomla.com/invitex/how-to-use-hotmailrest-api-to-import-contacts.html
Same way i want to import contacts from a domain email. i.e say if i have this email address test#stackoverflow.com and having few contacts.
Using PHP, i want to fetch the contacts from test#stackoverflow.com
Hope the above provided detailed explaination.
So, what you want is possible if that mail server allows you to access the contacts you have there. But, I am pretty sure that you will definitely not be allowed to fetch contacts from every single mail server you want. But, I would suggest you to give that try before losing hope.
I am working on iPhone application in which i am fetching address book contacts. I want to differentiate contacts which are from exchange account & gmail account which are configured on my iPhone. I also want to differentiate particular exchange or gmail account name if two exchange or gmail account are configured in my iPhone.
So how can i achieve this & is there any way to differentiate contacts ?
Please let me know some solution or some sample code to fix this issue.
Thanks
I have to send a text from my app to the contacts present in the contact list. I can do that using AddressBook and its delegates. How can i roll everything into iMessage?
You'll need to create and display an MFMessageComposeViewController and configure it with the phone numbers or email addresses you've obtained from the Address Book. Whether they're sent as iMessages or SMS messages is an implementation detail as far as you, the developer, is concerned.
