Is there a way to send an SMS from te DDMS in Eclipse to my Android phone. The emulator control is disabled when I'm running my physical phone. I can only sent a SMS to the emulator.

I hope in 2020 we'll be able to simulate SMS on real devices (if it's legal) enter image description here

I am not sure about what versions of android or adb support this you can try

adb emu sms send [from] [message]

so for example

adb emu sms send "+1555....." "Your message goes here....."

Hope this helps.

PS: I think this only works with emulators.
