# Enable SMS features and receive an SMS message

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/enable-sms-feature-and-receive-an-sms-message.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/enable-sms-feature-and-receive-an-sms-message.html)

To enable TelAF SMS features, run the following command to compile the TelAF simulation
            image under the TelAF root
            directory.

    # In Dev PC Host
    make simulac IMPORT_SDK_SIMULATION=y sdk_rootfs=<path/to/your/generated/rootfs> TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_SMS=yCopy to clipboard

    # In Dev Container
    cat >> simulation/.simulation.build << EOF
    export IMPORT_SDK_SIMULATION = y
    export sdk_rootfs=/path/to/your/generated/rootfs
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_SMS = y
    EOF
    
    echo "make simula-c" > simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh
    make simula-xCopy to clipboard

To simulate receiving SMS, the telsdk\_event\_injector tool provided
            by the SDK Simulation project is required. See [Telematics SDK - User Guide: Telephony
                Simulation](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-PF458-1/topic/simulation-telsdk.html#telephony-simulation) for more information about how to use it.
