Answer 1

from your application you can send n no.of SMS to n no.of people. but you can't get replied SMS to your app. Apple have a restriction to this. If you want how to send SMS from app let me know

#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>


-(void)composeSMS

{

  MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];

                if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])

                {
                    controller.body =@"Testing";
                    controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
                    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
                }
}

-(void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result

{

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

}

Answer 2

You can open the SMS app in your phone with a prefilled text from your app, and send it from there, but you can't read your SMS in your app or send them from inside your app.
