Sending and receiving text using android emulator

It's quite easy:

• open a console
• connect via telnet to the running emulator: telnet localhost 5554 (you can find the portnumber in the title of the emulator)
• type this: sms send senderPhoneNumber textmessage

You can also use two emulators. Open both emulators simultaneously. They will be named emulator-5554 and emulator-5556.

Then from one device, text (555)521-555x, where the last 4 digits are the number from the emulator name. This will allow you to text between both devices.
