It might be a bit time consuming, since you also have to install the Android Development Tools (ADT) again, but it’s worth it… as it then magically works!

Simulate incoming call with Android emulator
September 14th, 2010First be sure that an emulator is running.
Then open up the console with Start >> Run (or press Windows + ‘r’) and type in ‘cmd‘.
This will bring you to something like:
Like shown above, type in ‘telnet‘ and press enter. The result will look like:
Here type in ‘o localhost 5554‘ as shown here:
This will establish a connection to the emulator.
You can see the port number to be entered in the title bar of the emulator window.
If this succeeds, it will open the Android Console:
Here you can use all kinds of commands.
To simulate a call, type ‘gsm call 066712345‘:
The result is an incoming call at the emulator:
To cancel the call, type ‘gsm cancel 066712345‘.
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#telephony for more information about gsm operations.
Use ‘exit‘ to exit the Android Console and ‘quit‘ to quit telnet.
Hope that helps!
