(iPhone) Undocumented sms:// scheme

I found the sms:// URL scheme by trial and error, and likewise figured out how to fill in the phone number. I saw some other threads on this topic, but wondered if anyone had figured out how to pass the text body in the sms:// url...
Thanks!

Here's the basic open SMS to a specific phone number...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:+16037831752"]];
I've tried "sms:+16037831752?body=test", but SMS doesn't open the the phone number in SMS.
I only tried body since it is what makes the most sense and is what this draft spec is suggesting.

    When you sync your iPhone with your computer its contents are backed up. There are backup extractors that will let you view and save the contents of the backup. http://bit.ly/s2dlrq

  • Messages sending to iPhone as SMS instead of iMessage

    I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro 17" running OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). My wife has an iPhone 6 and a MacBook running an older version of OS X. Occasionally when I try to send her an iMessage using the OS X Messages app, it tries to send the message as SMS instead of iMessage. This usually fails because cell phone service at my rural home is spotty at best. Why, when my Mac and both iPhones have solid wi-fi connections to my AirPort Extreme, would it send messages as SMS?

    Hi Ian,
    If you are having an issue with sending SMS text messages, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPhone Messages (SMS) app problem

    I've been having a problem with the Messages (SMS) app on my iPhone 3GS. As a matter of personal choice (or rather by nature since I'm slightly prone to OCD), I like to "close (or kill)" all my apps from the multitasking bar and have it stay nice and clean every time I use my iPhone. However, I've been getting lazy over the past few weeks and so I let the messages app stay "open" or on the multitasking bar so it opens quickly. The problem I'm having is that whenever I "close (or kill)" the Messages (SMS) app, (tapping on that little red sign when the apps are wiggling on the multitasking bar), my iPhone freezes for a while (anywhere from 10 seconds to minutes). This time is directly proportional to how long I leave the Messages app "open" for, and how many messages I receive/send. Sometimes, it does a hard reset on me by crashing completely to the Apple logo.
    Now I'm not sure why this is, but my uneducated guess is that it has to do with the messages that I send/receive being indexed for search or something. Since the longer the app stays "open," the more messages it has to index, it overwhelms the iPhone and sometimes crashes, and almost always freezes.
    But, I'm not an expert by any means. So can anyone explain to me what this is/how to fix it (if there are any solutions at all)?
    Thank you in advance!

    Here are 3 things to try, starting with the least intrusive:
    1. In Settings, General, Spotlight Search, uncheck Messages (you might also want to uncheck other stuff you don't need - it all help to speed things up a bit)
    2. Kill all the apps, then restart the phone - hold Home and Sleep until the Apple logo appears - about 10 seconds
    3. Restore the phone via iTunes

  • IPhone 5 SMS bug

    I just got my iPhone 5 a few days ago. Set it up as a new iPhone, synced contacts via iCloud, used it as normal. I noticed iMessage was off, so proceeded to turn it on. Activation was quick. HOWEVER, I could not send iMessages. I solved this problem with my iPhone 4 by turning iMessage off, restarting the phone then turning it on. It worked with the iPhone 5. I was able to send one iMessage. Then when I tried to send another, it would not send. I thought iMessage was having problems, so I left it like that. Whenever I would send an SMS, it would send at the speed of an iMessage (using wifi). For example, if I were to send a 120 character text to 15 people, it would instantly send. I restored my phone (on 6.0.2) and bug is gone. However, restoring from backup brought that bug up again. Has anyone else experienced this?

    just don't restore it from backup.

  • IPhone 5 sms problems

    I am now on my 2nd Iphone 5 and still unable to send sms to selective people. Dont know the reason and this problem even confused the apple supporty staff on my first Iphone 5, so they replaced it. Now the same thing is happening.
    Does anyone have any ideas? HELP

    carrier - Telstra.
    The iphone was exchanged on friday last week and over weekend I was able to successfully sms those individuals.   Yesterday , sent sms to a friend am, and it went through with no problem.   I again tried to sms the same person around 5 pm -  the phone came up with ! and not delivered.   The friend is on the same carrier, but does not use an iphone.
    I then tried to sms another colleague in South Australia - it simply would not go through again showing ! and not delivered.
    On taking my sim card out of my Iphone 5 and puting in my daughters iphone 5,   the message was retyped and went straight through.
    I can receive sms .  However can only send selectively.  I can also send imessages with no problem.

  • New iPhone 4 SMS Tones?

    I am absolutely in LOVE with my iPhone. It is my life, literally. However, I am truly disappointed with Apple's ability to provide us with decent text tones. I was incredibly happy when they came out with the last update that gave us the new set of tones! I found them to be childish, especially for somebody who works in business. PLEASE come out with new SMS tones; ones that aren't childish that adults can actually play without being publicly embarassed. May I suggest allowing us to make our own, like EVERY OTHER DEVICE out there? At the very least, could we edit the iPhone ringtone presets to be SMS tones? I personally like the Duck ringtone, and if I could use a single "quack" as my SMS tone, I would be one happy camper.

  • Iphone 5 - SMS not working when imessage not available

    I have an iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4).  I have imessage set up with "Send as SMS" switched on.  However, when I try to send a text to my sister who has an iphone 4s but always has imessage switched off it will not revert to green to send it as an SMS. It will just send it as an imessage and then come up with the message that it is undeliverable.  I am also having the same problem sending messages to other iphone users who may not be in a wifi area or who don't have their data on.  Every iphone user in my contacts comes up with the blue send button when I type messages whether or not they use imessage!  Any ideas as to why this is happening. 

    There are millions and millions iPhone and I'm one of them that don't have any problem with my Wi-Fi.
    Did you check for firmware updates as mentioned earlier?

  • IPhone 4 SMS issues...not 1 way text

    I recently bought an iPhone 4 from verizon. I noticed a SMS issues...getting text from other cell phones with no problem but not from 1 way texts(I.e. Banks, Internet). Tried to open my mobile banking/alerts on my credit cards ( 4 total). When the companies text me the verification code I never received text. Talked with verizon but they didn't find any issues. Their text test came immediately through. They had me send text to my self via (www.txt drop.com) but never got those texts....help What the heck is going on...

    If it is not reaching your iPhone has to be an issue with either Verizon or the person sending it.
