Prompt user to enable SMS on iPad

I am using MFMessageComposeViewController to send messages. I use canSendText before sending the SMS. However if canSendText returns false i would like to take the user to setting->messages in iPad so that he can turn on messages. Is there a URL Scheme or something other way I can do this ?

This was possible is iOS 5.0-5.0.1 using the prefs:root= url scheme. However, Apple promptly removed this ability in 5.1. Sorry your out of luck. The best we can do is keep filing bug reports on Radar asking for this feature back.

EDIT: From what I've found, there is a way to still do this in 5.1+ for Twitter settings and this may work for messages as well, as long as the message controller conforms to UIAlertView delegate like the twitter controller does (personally not sure about this one), but it absolutely won't work for anything else. Maybe you're in luck after all!
