From what I know of the service, which is very little, it seems it allows you to send, from your mobile an SMS message to a landline, and the message on the landline end is read to the user.

What mobile phone do you have? I know my ancient Nokia 5110 could send and receive SMS messages, so it shouldn't be an issue on that end. Not sure what the landline requirements are, probably requires a touch-tone phone though.

I can send and recieve sms from my house phone. Was offered a soft phone with my BT

router but said no as i had it in the past, and with the software that came with that i

could make phone calls from my PC and send sms text.
