how to send MMS from iPhone app

In my new iOS Project I'd like the end user to be able to MMS text and/or images(from TextField) in a UIButton Action . I've seen similar apps that has this functionality (with text, haven't seen one with images yet).

I have search in google but could not find how to do this, any help much appreciated

This will work fine

MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];

UIPasteboard *pasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard]; 
pasteboard.persistent = YES;
pasteboard.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"PDF_File.png"];

NSString *phoneToCall = @"sms:";
NSString *phoneToCallEncoded = [phoneToCall stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:phoneToCallEncoded];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];    

if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]) {
    NSMutableString *emailBody = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"Your Email Body"];
    picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;
    picker.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"123456789"];
    [picker setBody:emailBody];// your recipient number or self for testing
    picker.body = emailBody;
    NSLog(@"Picker -- %@",picker.body);
    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
    NSLog(@"SMS fired");
}
