Because the emulator is a developers tool, you cannot make a phone call on the emulator. When you attempt to place a call on the emulator, it simulates the call. Select the End Call key to cancel the call function, or the call will cancel automatically and the message, Number not in use, displays.

The contrast and color rendering capabilities of the emulator and a device may differ slightly because of the differences in monitor calibration, imaging technologies, and ambient lighting.
