Sending an SMS to yourself in the emulator

At the APAC MDC last week, I had an opportunity to discuss developer tips with the audience in Syndey. One tip in particular that was a surprise to most of the audience but potentially very useful is the fact that you can make phone calls or send SMS messaages to yourself in the emulator (providing you are using a Smartphone or PPC emulator with Virtual Radio support). The phone number for the emulator is “+14250010001“. This is really handy for testing SMS interception or how your apps responds to an incoming phone call, etc. Just send an SMS to +14250010001! Give it a try - let me know if you have any problems.
