Answer 1

MMS as in Multimedia Messaging Service is not available for a developer in iOS. Only the messages.app can send MMS, you can't access any data from the messages.app nor can you send an MMS.

The iOS SDK provides Message UI Framework which allows you to send Email and Text messages. But the text messages are restricted to SMS only.

Update: iOS 7 now supports attachment.

 - (void)sendAudioFile:(NSURL)audioFilePath {
    if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendAttachments] &&
        [MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText] &&
        [MFMessageComposeViewController isSupportedAttachmentUTI:@"com.apple.coreaudio-​format"]) //.caf files
    { 
        NSLog(@"can send");

        MFMessageComposeViewController *message = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
        [message addAttachmentURL:audioFilePath withAlternateFilename:nil]; //.caf file
        message.messageComposeDelegate = self;
        [self presentViewController:message animated:YES completion:nil];
    }
    else {
        NSLog(@"cannot send");
    }
}
