MFMessageComposeViewController alloc returns nil

In my application, MFMailComposeViewController works fine but creating a new instance of MFMessageComposeViewController fails.

Here is the code for both:

-( IBAction)sendSMS: (id)sender
{
 MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
 picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;

 NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject: cell.currentTitle ]; 

 picker.recipients = toRecipients;

 [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}

-( IBAction)sendEmail: (id)sender
{
 MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
 picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

 NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject: email.currentTitle ]; 

 [picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];

 [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}

Its seemingly obvious that everything is linking correctly because the email view controller works fine. Is there something I am missing maybe configuration wise?
