Sending a text message to a landline number
I just discovered that it's possible to send a text message to a landline number and would like to find out if the landline number gets charged for receiving the message? Has this service been around for a long time?

![]() I know as i accidentally sent that exact message to the mother in laws landline instead of my wifes mobile, when i got to the house they were about to call the police and her mother was being fawned over by all the family as she was shaken up by the apparent threatening phone call that everyone was convinced was their other daughters ex boyfriend. Never made that mistake again, and it was an excellent ice breaker meeting the new in laws ![]() just call me focker.

Some landline phones are able to receive and send SMS, mine is set up to do so. Texts are read out to other recipients. There is no charge for receiving, only sending.

They had Tom Baker for a time. My friends and I spent too many hours texting each other's landline asking for jelly babies and quoting his lines in Little Britain...
We sent dirty voice texts to each other, we thought it was hilarious at the time
