Question

I’m developing an iPhone application with MonoTouch framework and I’m trying to send multiple SMS and emails in one shot.
A sort of

foreach (User user in userList)
{
    SendSMS(user.TelephoneNumber);
    SendEmail(user.EmailAddress);
}

I’ve found samples about sending SMS and emails, but each time, the author uses a MFMessageComposeViewController and MFMailComposeViewController.

I don’t want a ViewController, just sending SMS / emails while my “loading alert view” shows process status.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for the help you can provide.

iOS doesn’t allow you to send e-mails or texts without user interaction.

If you want to do this you will need to use a third party service for SMTP and SMS.
