Few steps will led u to understand the simple implementation involved in it:

**Step.1**-Include **MessageUI.framework** in your project.

**Step-2** Import **MessageUI/MessageUI.h in your header** file like that in my case.

```
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> @interface SendSMS : UITableViewController<MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate>@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *SMSSubject;@end
```

**Setp-3** Suppose you want to send SMS on button touch(click) then write the following code in your implementation (SendSMS.m) file.

```
  MFMessageComposeViewController *controller =[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];     controller.messageComposeDelegate = self; // CHECK DEVICE CAN SEND TEXT MESSAGE.     if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]){// message subject. controller.subject=@“this is message subject. ”;//  message body controller.body=[NSString stringWithFormat:@“ This is the testing message. “];// contact number you want to send . controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@” 123456”,nil];           // check the condition in case of model view controller is not dismissed.                if (![[self presentedViewController] isBeingPresented]) {                    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];                                 }// show message view  UI.[self presentViewController: controller animated:YES completion:nil];            } // delegate method of  MFMessageComposeViewController . - (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result{      [controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];}
```
