This is not even possible for native iOS. On native iOS you are only allowed to share by iMessage or SMS which opens a system dialog. So this would probably only work for Android. – mr.VVoo Apr 07 '13 at 19:09

@ScottHunter I don't want to send, just read/write. – blez Apr 07 '13 at 19:09

iOS doesn't allow access to its SMS database even from native code, so it is not possible through PhoneGap either.
For Android it is not supported directly, but there is this plugin. I am not sure how well it works though.
