How to programmatically send SMS on the iPhone?
i am new to iPhone programming and i was thinking of developing an sms application through which user can send and receive sms inside my application similar to iPhone own message application.i think apple doesn't provide any API regarding accessing sms inbox?? is there any other way around it??
I'm afraid this is not possible through the default iPhone SDK.
You have two possibilities:
Create an application through Open Tool Chain. I'm not very experienced with this kind of developement, but I think it should be possible to access the SMS inbox etc from outside. Drawback: Only jailbroken phones, no App Store...
Create your own service that sends SMS via, for example, a server. You could use Push notifications or something to indicate when new messages has arrived. You should however be aware of, and read up on, Apple's guidelines regarding applications that imitate functionality of built in core applications.
Have a look at the list of new features in iPhone OS 4 ("In-App SMS").
Can't help you regarding the actual API and what its limitations are, though.

I am developing an application in iPhone which will send ordinary sms to users at pre stated date and time. so I want to know is it possible in iPhone that the sms is sent to receivers automatically when time comes. also if you know some suggestions then please give me more suggestions so I can make it run successfully
Thanks
You can do one thing. You can make web service in .net or in php. Or there are third party api for sending sms to other users like way2sms.com. these are just for .net and in php.
with jailbroken phones this is feasible.. I don't know the detail though..
anyway, with stock iphone it isnt possible
I am planning to develop a free sms app which sends sms using APIs.
To make it easy to user, i want to use same look n feel like Messages App,
Any frameworks available for that?
I have downloaded many frameworks like
Acani
TwitterFon
Samsoffes https://github.com/samsoffes/ssmessagesviewcontroller
But none of them seems to be working
Any working framework available?
Thanks
Is there any VOIP app for iPhone/iPad that can accept call request from another custom iPhone application?
I have a custom iPhone application written with C# and MonoTouch. I need to make VOIP calls (and conference call with multiple phones) from my iphone application. But developing a VOIP app from ground up is not worth the time (and I dont know Obective-C either). So I was looking for an SDK or App that can accept call request from other apps. For example my app could construct and call a URL like (app-protocol:call?18002221111&18003331112&18001322244)... an installed VOIP in iPhone will listen to the protocol and place conference call to all three numbers. (Something like this is possible with skype but skype does not support conferencing in IOS... although works fine in Mac or Windows).
Thanks
Thanks for your answer Paul. Do you know if gvconnect url scheme will support bulk call (multiple numbers at the same time? For single number I can have skype installed (Free), I tested the skype: url scheme and that works fine. The problem is it does not work with semicolon delimited phone numbers in iOS ... which works fine in skype for Windows Desktop version.
I think GV Connect - Google Voice Connect can do this for you. It supports gvconnect:// url handler scheme. You can find a list of apps which use custom URL handlers here http://handleopenurl.com
I haven't tested this one but it could be also helpful:
Siphon, an open source iPhone app.

Is it possible to send text messages from an iphone app automatically through code. I havent seen any sample code of this yet?
There is no support from Apple in the original SDK to do automatic sending. I mean, the support that exists in the official SDK - the MessageUI framework - allows you to send text messages, but you can't escape the UI that Apple imposes, and you can't send the messages automatically.
But what you can do is to use a 3rd party service. I've been using clickatell.com for about 6 years now ( vb6 and .net too :) ... ) - and i only can recommend it ...
You could give a go with them ?
Can I access the text of my SMS messages using the iPhone SDK?
Meaning existing messages, not creating new ones.
Correct, you cannot access these on a standard, non-jailbroken iPhone. You should file a bug with Apple, perhaps they'll improve SMS access in the future.
