You can't send 'real' SMS from emulator to device, because you don't have a SIM card.

You can, however, send it from emulator to emulator if you have more than one running.

To do this, check this question: Sending and receiving text using android emulator

What is the solution if i wanna send sms to a real device - i can't just whit a modem? – Saeid Oct 02 '13 at 09:57
@saeid You can't send SMS to real device if you don't have SIM card. No SIM card = No cellular network = No SMS. – Piotr Chojnacki Oct 02 '13 at 10:08
even with a GSM Modem that have sim card!? :( – Saeid Oct 02 '13 at 15:08

thanx - i saw this page - but Got nowhere! i have problem too! – Saeid Oct 02 '13 at 08:41
Try this, open 2 emulators. Send a message from one to the other using the number that appears in the emulator's title-bar. E.g. The 1st would have the number 5554 and the 2nd would have 5556, try to send from the 1st to 5556 – Alhaytham Alfeel Oct 02 '13 at 09:43

There is a free android app "Terminal IDE" available on Google Play. Install it. This app has inbuilt terminal, open the terminal and type telnetd, it will start telnet service on the android phone. Connect the phone to pc using usb. In command prompt type 1. adb forward tcp:[your port number] tcp:8080 2. telnet 127.0.0.1:[your port number] Check the below links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5605678/android-how-to-telnet-a-phone http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidCommandLine/article.html#emulator_console – Alhaytham Alfeel Oct 02 '13 at 10:53

The Answer:

Actually you should check ASCII chars.

If any char is out of ASCII range (0x0000 to 0x007F) the message becomes to 70 length limit.

And otherwise as you motioned, if all chars is ASCII (for example English letters or numbers) the limitation on message length is 160.

the code is simple:

public static boolean isASCIIMessage(String s) {
for (int i = 0; i < Character.codePointCount(s, 0, s.length()); i++) {
    int c = s.codePointAt(i);
    if (c >= 0x0000 && c <=0x007F)
        return false;
}
return true;

Anyway if you want detect Persian input see this answer.
