hi kathy, there is an app for that but i can't remember what app. where you put a contact on home screen then if you click you can either SMS or call directly. i use that app last year but i forgot the name. i cant seem to find it on app store.

I'm trying to find a way to put a short cut on iPhone to SMS instead if having to go find a contact. Like htz phones put contact directly on welcome screen of my iphone. Any suggestions? Thx,
