After a review of the iOS documentation, I can send SMS using MFMessageComposer in my application but I have not yet found a way for an application to be written such that it can programmatically process the content of an incoming SMS message within the iPhone platform. The idea would be for such an application to be running in the background and read sms from inbox and perform action automatically.
Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll to “Messages” in the menu and tap “Messages.” Tap the “Send & Receive” item in the Messages menu.
No, there is no way to read SMS messages. Apple is very strict on this due to privacy concerns.
Go to Settings > Messages > On the next screen, make sure MMS Messaging and Group Messaging is enabled. After this your iPhone will be able to use both Apple supported iMessaging system and carrier supported SMS/MMS messaging system.
This is not possible with the standard SDK.
You may be able to do this with a jailbroken phone?
