Text messaging

[pjm007]

Did anyone know that it is possible to send text messages from a mobile phone to a landline ? I found this out a few weeks ago....A handy tip, Eh ?

This has been around for a while now.

The receiver has a robot womans voice reading a text to you.

I honestly thought it only works for mobile to mobile.

Does it cost anything to retreive the message?

[hugoboss]

how would you know you'd received a text message on your land line?

[saxo_boi]

how do you retrieve the message then? do you have to call a special number or something?

[hugoboss]

someone at work has just told me that the landline rings as normal when you receive a message, and an electronic voice reads out the message!

incredible that hardly anyone knows about this!!

Yep - the phone just rings as normal and you get an electronic message saying 'you have received a text message from xxxxxxxxxxx (number)' a posh electronic lady then speaks the message.

Is this service only available on certain networks though?

[Cetti]

It does work.

Can't imagine when I'm going to use it, but thanks for the tip - I'm having great fun texting my 'phone!
