There was an Android build that will run on an x86 processor<br>
somewhere... the development kit comes with a simulator. Whether you can<br>
actually simulate your specific phone's environment... I'm doubtful. In<br>
order to contact the cellular network your phone must identify itself to<br>
the nearest tower, and it does that vie the information burned in to the<br>
SIM card by the service provider. I don't think that you will be able to<br>
get very far without one.<br>
However, Gmail allows you to send SMS messages to phones using a couple<br>
of providers, I forget which. I think maybe Cellcom and Pelephone.<br>

The cheapest way to send 1 SMS to a cell phone from a computer is SKYPE. $0.10 (about 50ag). Nothing needed but free software and almost any internet connection.<br>
<br>
If you want to send many, it becomes expensive quickly.<br>
<br>
The cheapest way to send a "reasonable" amount is to install either a<br>
Nokia phone which supports the feature connected via either BlueTooth or USB OR a Hauwei USB dongle to your asterisk system.<br>
<br>
A properly unlocked Hauwei dongle can be used to send and receive SMS's<br>
and make and receive phone calls.<br>
<br>
Depending upon your cellular plan it may be a good investment or a waste of money.<br>
<br>
About a year ago I bought a Hauwei dongle from a store in Haifa (it was<br>
listed in ZAP) for under 300 NIS delivered, and another (used) one for<br>
$50 delivered from a eBay vendor.<br>
<br>
The eBay one had an antenna jack, which is good because within USB cable range of my asterisk system there is no reliable cell phone coverage. I bought a $15 antenna from China which is now out the window and on a railing, and it works perfectly.<br>
