Location triggered SMS messaging

Is it possible to do the following with Appery.io? If so, could you explain?

1.) Send a sms message when a specific location is reached.
2.) Send this sms message to a predetermined group of people.
3.) Import contacts from my native device into a new contacts list that resides within the new Appery.io app?

I apologize if these are repeated questions, I was unable to find what I needed in the forum.

Location triggered SMS messaging

Hi Jerry,

1) You could periodically check user current location and compare with location added beforehand:

2) For broadcast messaging try AT&T SMS API Plug-in or Twillio API: http://blog.appery.io/2012/05/att-sms...

3) Using Cordova contacts you can import via a service being created: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...
