SMS to a landline number
first i have ever heard of this until today, i have the work phone set so you need to dial an outside line to make a call, nobody except me knows about this, and it stopped me getting stupid phone bills from staff ringing people when i was not about.
today i get a call, and pick up to hear a voice from bt saying i had a text message waiting, this confused me as i have never heard it before, but i dont usually work sundays as this new member of staff covers them.
i hung up
it rang back
i hung up
it rang back, ffs i had a listen and it gives me the option of texting the original number back (no idea how yet)
this is obviously the new staff members way of communicating with the outside world at my expense
not anymore, switched the usless service off via BT`s automated phone service, "get some bloody credit on ya phone you pikey git"
when did this stuff get enabled?

I received a text message sent to my house phone (by mistake as 'home' & 'mobile' were next to each other in sender phone book) at least three years ago. Dont you remember a couple of years ago when Tom Baker did the voice for this? Que lots of '...the Darleks are coming to get you' text messages.....

this has been going for a year now bt started advertising it quite a while ago, think it did not really catch on as you could never understand the automated voice, and as the ad were not very succesfull at doing its job, people like your good self are none the wiser about it. hence it is little used, another rubbish idea from bt. who the f##k wants to listen to a head in a toilet bowl, and if they have my home phone just ring it, i dont give this to people unless i actually wish to speak to them.

I use it sometime to wind mates up. Usually after a night out on the pop. Lots of fun to be had thinking of appropriate words to send them. Go on give it a go, you know you want to.

It's for the utterly immature childish people who want to send swear words/Darth vader phrases to friends and family after the pubs have shut.
I've had great fun sending all those messages

When the lads are round and the missus is pottering about in the east wing, we text the landline asking to be brought food, knowing she will answer
"This is downstairs, please fetch us pizza and chips, thankyou, hmmmmmm thankyou" etc
