My question is : How can I send a SMS message from computer to this device. It seems that I try this tutorial tutorial, but it doesn't work.

telnet
o localhost 5554 (or 5555)

I always receive "Cannot find host". So, please tell me how to this work.

Answer 1

Is your real device a phone connected to the network? Send the SMS from another phone or via an email gateway.

IIRC, 5554, 5555, etc. are the "phone numbers" of emulators. My notes on sending SMS messages to emulators say:

To test SMS within the emulator, simply launch a second emulator and send the test messages to the emulator number, e.g. "5554"

Maybe you can use telnet for this too, I don't know. If so, I need to update my notes.

p.s. Here are my notes on email-to-SMS gateways:

Answer 2

It seems that adb listens to connections on port 5037

"telnet localhost 5037" connects to my computer.

Try adb kill-server adb start-server

When adb starts, it'll print the port number
