How to pass phone number to mms

Question

I have following code, which invoke mms client and attaches to it a picture

    Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
    sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text"); 
    sendIntent.putExtra("address", phoneNumber);
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, mCurrItemUri);
    sendIntent.setType("image/*");
    getContext().startActivity(
            Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send MMS..."));

The problem I am facing is that I cannot pass phone number to that intent. And Is there any way to pass an array of phone numbers to it?

Thank you on advance.

I think you need to set proper type for mms. for example:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
