Android: Send SMS messages from Emulator using Telnet

Written by:MarkPosted on:

I’ve started to develop first Android application and will write some notes during development process.
The first note is sending sms messages from terminal.
So, There are a few steps to send messages from emulator using terminal:

  1. Start emulator (The emulator has to be started becaue you need to know port to connect). For starting emulator go to the Andriod SDK and AVD Manager->Virtual Devices->Start 
  2. Start telnet. Type in console window 
       1: telnet
  3. Open telnet connection to the emulator port. Type in telnet window 
       1: o localhost 5554

    , where localhost name of computer where emulator is running and 5554 it is port of emulator running.

  4. Try to send message. Type in telnet window 
       1: sms send 5556 Test Message

    , where 5556 is phone number, Test Message is text of message.

And that is all …
