(ie, your program on the iPhone sends a UDP packet to your server, which sends the real SMS) iOS 4 Update Your best bet is to set up an intermediate server on the internet that uses an online SMS sending service and send the SMS via that route if you need complete automation. (Imagine if the game instead dialed 911 at a particular time of day)

If you sign up now you'll get 3,200 RB points!!'Īpple has restrictions for automated (or even partially automated) SMS and dialing operations.
