Can your iphone app interact with the modem and still be accepted by apple?

I don't want my app to probe the nether parts of the iPhone... just use the modem to send a simple SMS message. Is this a deal-breaker with Apple? Why?

I'm considering a workaround where outgoing SMS are routed to a URL I set up to bounce the message on to the intended recipient. Do you think this is a feasible route to consider?

How to programmatically send SMS on the iPhone?

basically, you can open the sms app but you'll have to route through an (internet-based) sms gateway if you don't want to leave your app to send it.

SMS may be limited by the phone operator. This is a no-go if the user doesn't know a SMS is being sent.

Besides, interacting with something low-level like a device seems to be something Apple wouldn't like.

I don't know enough about phone protocols to be of any other help, though.
