Autofill SMS message in Phonegap/Cordova iOS and Android

Question

Is there a way to automatically send an SMS with Phonegap or Cordova on iOS and Android? If not is there a way to pre fill the text message in the native app so the user just as to confirm the message to be sent?

Just to add to KateMihalikova's answer (I don't have enough rep to add a comment on it) but her answer is correct except for the iOS >= 7 part; iOS 7 body is not supported (I believe only if you have already had history with the SMS number in question will it work, but I've not tested it); however iOS 8 has brought body prefill back: you have to replace the ; that was used for iOS <=6 with an & instead:

iOS 8: sms:+123456789&body=hello there
