Is it possible to send an sms from an android emulator to a phone?

Solution
This could work if you can fool your emulator that USB-attached device is a SIM card. Reading thru that adapter' review, it has custom software to retrieve data off it.

You better find another way to spam your friends ;)
No, and it is not because of the emulator, but because of the way SMS works. it needs a phone number, and your emulator does not have it (because it does not have SIM).

There are commercial services which will let you send SMS messages to almost any phone thru email. Some wireless operators also assign ordinary email addresses to each subscriber, like 123456789@<operator address>.
