I've tried to do this once but but it wont be accepted by app store. Apple wont let you send message/email without user knowledge about it.

You can use a sms:[target phone number] URL to open the SMS application, but there are no indications on how to prefill a SMS body with text (see this post on Apple Developer Forums).

You can't use the Message Framework to send a message without the user knowing about it. One common solution is to send the message details to a web service running on your server and send the message from the server. As long as you're not trying to be sneaky, I don't think there's anything wrong with doing that.
