Thanks in advance. Shibin

Answer 1

You can't set the SMS body. The only things you can do from your code, as per the official SDK, is 1) to open the SMS application:

NSString *stringURL = @"sms:";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

and 2) to set the phone number for a new message:

NSString *stringURL = @"sms:+12345678901";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

Answer 2

You can set the body in iOS 4. Please cf the documentation.
