Auto sending SMS. Is it possible?

Hi everyone. I wonder if Apple approves an app that sends SMS automatically via a calendar function? How is it supposed to make it work. I set a date. I write sms. when that date comes the app send automatically the sms. Do anybody now if it possible to make that for iOS?

Although some apps managed to do tis in the past apparently not. iOS6 has put the blockers on it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9570642/send-sms-programmatically-without-the-sms-composer-window

You probably can do this through push notifications maybe. As long as it's not spam. LA

@LA No! It is not possible to send push notifications from a app to another phone. App to app maybe but not app to phone.

@Mackimack, Yeah sorry I misread that thinking you wanting to create an App that does this when you can create an App that does this with a workaround. LA
