How do I get the IP address of my Windows Phone Emulator?

You don’t. If you are used to the Windows Mobile way of doing things, where the emulator has an IP address which is different from the PC it is running, then the current version of the Windows Phone emulator is different. It is best viewed as a process running on your machine, and this means that it has the same IP address as your machine.

This means that you can connect to localhost from your emulator and get back to services hosted on your PC (although if this address gets baked into any of your configuration files for your program you can look forward to fun and games when you try to deploy to a real device).

What about the phone number of the Windows Phone Emulator? Is there a way to send text messages to the emulator?
