To differentiate between blob sending method to be introduced in bug 738132, also for a unified naming of sending text-based SMS message API, the send/sendSMS/sentMessage method names should be better renamed to sentTextMessage or something alike.

Per discussion with Philipp, sending blob out via SMS shall be rare and not realistic. The main purpose of this API is for debug/devel MMS, we'll have to find a better way, for example, sending a formal MMS message out instead.
