sms in app

hello everyone was wondering if i could get some feed back on how to communicqate with other members in my app with sms - (void)showSMS:(NSString*)file {

if(![MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]) {
    UIAlertView *warningAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Your device doesn't support SMS!" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [warningAlert show];
    return;
}

NSArray *recipents = @[@"12345678", @"72345524"];
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Just sent the %@ file to your email. Please check!", file];

MFMessageComposeViewController *messageController = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
messageController.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[messageController setRecipients:recipents];
[messageController setBody:message];

// Present message view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:messageController animated:YES completion:nil];

}

yes i saw that this is how i starrted my questio as in how to sms members within the app. If you look at the code provided in the appcoda looks like i would need the phone number of the recipents and i dont think the members of my social app would give that info to other members . I was wondering if ther might be another way to link the recipents of other iphones using the same app without using there phone number.
