sms sending from code.

Hi everybody,

I have the need to send a serie of SMS with no user intervention. It's a backup system we use in our application to support our antiaggression system(already published). When we have no Internet we send a SMS reporting actual position. The alarm is sent under a user action(pressure of a zone of the screen) and in case we are not able to send the position via TCP/IP the position itself is sent via SMS to our server. The action should be automatic since the person can be under attack and have no time to approve each message!

We are afraid that this feature could be refused during APP approvement by Apple.

Am I right? Or I can put a disclaimer on the first screen to get customer's approvement?

Regards and thanks!
