Ever heard of someone trying to text a land phone?

Question

I've gotten messages telling me that someone is trying to send a text to my home phone...how can that happen? Any weird fees associated with this? (Charter Communications)

Answer 1

hi first of all i would like to tell u it helps a gr8 deal for us if u display ur location country.......

to answer ur question,

there are many countries where texting a landline phone is possible.

for instance in uk if u were to text a landline phone the receiver will automatically receive a verbal message of what u text.

this is a gr8 service but unfortunately not available in many countries.

Glad to help

You can get land phones that can send text messages. Without them you cant send or recieve them.  I dont think you will get charged. But the person sending them probably will get charged.

Answer 3

yes!!

first, you gotta have a phone that supports text/data...! There are phones like that our there, but the average person don't have them!

now, if you have VoIP....there you can send .wave.files ( messages via your email) and also record them onto the iPot or any MP3 player! I have that with my VoIP provider for free.....its part of there features...!

Answer 4

Well this would probably depend on your phone carrier/phone company.  Mine for example, Telus, offers this.  Someone with a cellphone texts (just as you would text another cell phone) a landline phone number, the text then gets translated into a verbal message by a computer, the landline phone rings and receives a message saying there is a message waiting for them and to push 1  (or whatever) to hear it - the message is then read to you.  You can reply to it as well but I've never done this.

I do not know how the charges work, sorry.
