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.

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

I am creating an application that sends and SMS while taping on a button. To implement this functionality I installed the iPhone SDK 4. Since it supports in app SMS. But when I tap on my button to send SMS the MessageUI view controller is displayed along with my custom SMS body. I dont want to display this screen, I just need to send the SMS in the background with out displaying the SMS screen to the User.
Can any one help me in solving this.? Please help needed.
Thanks and Regards,

I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this. Apple wants the user to confirm an SMS send for at least a couple of reasons:
SMS costs the user money to send
If your app could send without confirmation, you could spam contacts from the user's address book, or worse, give them a link to a phishing site that they trust because the text came from a trusted source
Why do you care if the user confirms the SMS or not? As soon as they tap "Send", the MessageUI view controller is dismissed and the user is back in your app's screen.
The only alternative I can think if is to send an NSHTTPURLRequest to a web service that provides an SMS gateway. That you could certainly do in the background, though likely you (the developer, not the user) would incur the cost of sending the messages, and the sender would not appear to be the user.
According to the official Class Reference provided by Apple, the composing message will always come up so that the user can confirm the message.
No, you cannot do that. There is a reason for that MessageUI controller showing - it's to confirm with the user that indeed the SMS is sent with her knowledge and understanding.
Without message body you can't send a message to the user. You want to send a message in background .Simply you refer the topic like web service, api reference .Its help you to send a message in background. hope this is helpful for you..
Can the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController be called to display Contacts from a different account than the default? For example, a gmail, or Exchange account? I've read the ABAddressBook documentation and all I find is code below to the default Address Book on the iphone.
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
The iPhone doesn't store contacts like that. You may be able to access a user's GMail contacts through a GMail API, but if that's the case then you wouldn't be using the built-in address book. As of right now, the answer is no.
I want to send an email from my application whenever a user taps the SEND button of my view.I do not want to show the email interface to the user.All the fields needed for email will we filled via my application.So is there anyway to do this???
There is a project on Google Code called skpsmtpmessage which will allow you to send off a faceless email.
Alternatively you could have a look at the Pantomime package. It also contains implementations of the SMTP protocol. It has however not (yet) been ported to iPhone AFAIK, but since it's written in Cocoa it should not be that big a task for doing this specifically for the SMTP part..
