Can you link from your application to open Android native messaging inbox?

We have an application that handles the sending of SMS to a recipient to a lower rate than most operators. However, due to permission restrictions we wont be able to show incoming SMS.

Therefore we had an idea if we easily could link from our application to open the native inbox for relative easy access to the conversation you're in.

Is anyone aware of whether it's possible to link to the Android native inbox, and preferably link it so that pressing "Back" will take the user back to the application? An additional side question, if this is possible then can we also request a toast to show when opening the native inbox to say something along the lines of "Press 'Back' to go back to application"?

You can call the sms box via Intent, but I think that you can do something better. You can get the List off SMS/MMS and do what you want in your own applicaiton. Take a look at this question.
