If I use a real real device to test out my android programs, but the device is a tablet computer and not a phone in any way, can I still use the SDK to emulate incoming phone calls and SMS, and the device into receiving phone calls and sms? Or do I have to get a real phone device for this purpose?

What do you mean by **spoof**? The AVD has features to test calls. Check out the various function keys. See [Android Emulator ](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/emulator.html) – andy256 Aug 14 '13 at 00:19

As I said, I am not talking about the emulator. It is possible for SDK to make spoof calls to the emulator using DDMS (as shown in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4964703/fake-incoming-call-android). I just want to know if this is possible on a real hardware but which does not have phone capabilities, or do I need to have a real phone instead – user13267 Aug 14 '13 at 00:24

You'd better use Emulator to do this Using the Emulator|Telephony Emulation. The emulator is a part of android sdk and it is free to use.
I don't think a tablet without a hardware can do this. Or you may wait and watch if the others think differently.

ok may be that wasn't the proper word. Call it "emulate" an incoming call – user13267 Aug 14 '13 at 00:26
