Hi,

you could use Nokia Connectivity Framework for emualting incoming SMS message on EPOC emulator or you can create a message in the 'inbox' folder in your code.

You might want to check if you can live with the following:
- create and send a message with the Messaging application
- first time it is going to ask for a Message Centre, "1" is a pretty good choice
- visit epoc32\winscw\c\smsout, copy/move message0.sms to epoc32\winscw\c\smsin
- your message will arrive to the Inbox.
This method also triggers "HandleSessionEventL+EMsvEntriesCreated/Changed"-based message watchers.

The drawback is that the incoming message will contain "To:" header, instead of "From:". This is what NCF could replace for you (since it can convert submit pdu-s to delivery pdu-s, if you install an additional SMSC emulator), however it is almost impossible to use, at least in my opinion.
