How to programmatically send SMS to iPhone?
I am new to iPhone programming and I was thinking about developing an sms application through which a user can send and receive sms inside my application, similar to the native iPhone application. I think apple doesn't provide an API to access sms folders ?? is there any other way out there?

I am afraid this is not possible with the default iPhone SDK.
You have two possibilities:
- Build an application through the Open Tool Chain . I am not very experienced with this kind of development, but I think it should be possible for him to access incoming SMS, etc. From outside. Disadvantage: only jailbroken phones, no app store ...
- Create your own service that sends SMS through, for example, a server. You can use Push Notifications or something to indicate when new messages have arrived. However, you should be aware of and read Apple's guidelines for apps that mimic the functionality of native core apps.

Take 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.
