Send an SMS to the emulator

Question

I am working on an android application and I want to send an SMS to the phone number of the phone i.e the emulator. I know there will be no real phone number for emulator, but how can I send an SMS from the phone?

Open Eclipse. Select "Emulator Control" from Window -->Show View -->Android.There will be an option called Telephony Actions. There under the Incoming number just specify a sample number.Select SMS and type the text that you want and finally click "Send"

You can try this sample app too

and check for SMSSender.java class.
