Hi is it possible to send text message in background..?My new requirement is to send SMS if there is no internet connection .
I am trying MFMessageViewComposer but it shows the pop up view.
How can we send message without shown this pop up? Is there any other way to do this things.
It's not allowed. For example, what if I develop an app which send taxed SMS to a server of mine to get money ? That´s the main reason... I could also send innaproriate or SPAM SMS to random numbers...
That's why the user has to validate the sending.
Send SMS programmatically, without the SMS composer window hope that helps... Looks to be a similar question. According to the poster, ios6 does not allow you to send SMS in the background, without using a 3rd party API, like Nexmo, who provide a REST API to send messages using HTTP.
To send a message using Nexmo, just send a request like http://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json?api_key=n3xm0rocks&api_secret=12ab34cd&from=MyCompany20&to=447525856424&text=hello+hd1 and you'll get back JSON, change the endpoint to xml if you prefer that.

I know we can use
MFMessageComposeViewController
to compose message and forward the SMS
My question is how can we send an SMS in the background ???
I am working on an application which has prefixed number of recipients and a fixed message body .
The user has to press a send button only once and this predefined message will be forwarded to all the recipients in the background .
The user should NOT be taken to messages application where he can edit the message body , add/remove recipients and then send the message
If there are any third party api then can they be used along with phonegap ?? and will the app be rejected ??
Kindly help !!!
Well, there is no documented solution. You may use undocumented approach, it is technically possible, but there is no way for You to AppStore then.
I only know native (ObjC) coding, not PhoneGap, but PhoneGap can't do more than native coding so I can tell you quite clearly that there is no way to send an SMS without opening the MFMessageComposeViewController. This is done to protect users from having messages sent without their consent. There is no way around this.
I have not been able to find any information about the topic online, so I am assuming it is not possible, but is there a way to create an app that when turned on will respond to all incoming calls by sending them to voicemail and responding with a text message? I know you can set the reply with message in iOS6, but we would want the message to be sent automatically when the call is recieved, currently the respond with message the user still needs to hit a button when the call comes in to send this. We would also want to respond to any incoming SMS/imessages with a text. As well as reply automatically via email to any incoming emails. If anyone could link me to an apple site or somewhere that says you can't do this? Thanks for your help.
Edit - is there any way to get information about notifications for these items? I was thinking if you can't directly handle the call itself, on a timed loop you could check to see if there were any missed calls or any info relating to those? Thanks
Not unless you want to develop and application for jailbroken phones, which will not be allowed in the Apple App Store.
programmatically send SMS on the iPhone with out show MFMessageComposeViewController? It's possible? b/c I want to konw when's my phone send sms. I don't want my phone auto sending SMS.
If it's possible, how to know? How to catch that event?
In theory (and assuming the phone is not jailbroken), you cannot send an SMS without user intervention. If sending SMS messages via the API, the user will see the message-compose view controller.
That said, I suppose an app could "bypass" this by sending an HTML request to a third-party SMS gateway (in other words, the iphone is not actually sending the text message, but an external server is).
It's possible, but not using the SMS capability provided by the phone. An app author wanting to send SMS without the usual UI would have to purchase capacity from some third party provider (search for 'SMS provider' to find many such providers). Messages sent that way would cost the app developer money, which is as powerful a disincentive as you can find. They also wouldn't be identified with you.
I am working in new application and I am new to iphone.
I want to send a message to the person whom I have added from the contact list.
Is it possible?
Can you please give me some sample code or links.
For sending SMS through iPhone, it is required to have user authentication. So programmatically without and user interaction you cannot send an SMS

Any one know how to implement auto send message using MFMessageComposer....i mean No need of displaying The message Composer..we Have to sent the pre-defined message to a given Number..Or any other way without using MFMessageComposer..???
You can't auto-send messages with MFMessageComposer. It always displays the message to the user before sending (and rightly so).
An alternative would be to call a webservice which dispatches an email to you. Or put enough SMTP code in your app to get emails sending. You'll need your own email system for this though as you'll not be able to get the users email settings.
