Emulator-to-emulator SMS not working

[jonallengriffin]

Attempting to send an SMS from one emulator to another silently fails; the logcat is:

@philikon any thoughts on this? We would really like to get these test turned on :).

So the problem is that the REQUEST_GET_SMSC_ADDRESS (parcel type 100) request isn't supported by the emulator (it returns with ERROR_REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED = 6). So far we've assumed that you need the SMSC to send an SMS, but maybe an empty SMSC would do on the emulator? Perhaps even with regular operators? We can find out.

Inter-emulator SMS works similar to inter-emulator telephony; no SMSC should be required. See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/emulator.html#calling. A Marionette test of this used to work at some point in the past.
