What platform are you trying? I am not sure all will support something like this... I don't think any of them will send automatically anyway: they may open the default application that can handle "that type" but will require the user to confirm.

Not sure what the best way is but on Maemo, Linux, Meego you can use telepathy to handle SMS.

I have not tried and am not even sure it is available on Symbian but you could try using the "messaging mobility module":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/messaging.html

According to "this post":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/05/12/qt-mobility-1-2-0-released/ it should/could be available.

If you do please make sure to report back. I want to try myself when I get a chance
