Telephony Emulation

The Android emulator includes its own GSM emulated modem that lets you simulate telephony functions in the emulator. For example, you can simulate inbound phone calls and establish/terminate data connections. The Android system handles simulated calls exactly as it would actual calls. The emulator does not support call audio in this release.

You can use the console to access the emulator's telephony functions. After connecting to the console, you can use

gsm <call|accept|busy|cancel|data|hold|list|voice|status> 

to invoke telephony functions.

The gsm command supports the subcommands listed in the table below.
