I heard that BT were replacing the woman's voice with Tom Baker's voice, so today I sent a text from my mobile to my BT phone... and it was still the same woman!



What a waste of money!

Anyone had any luck getting Tom Baker's voice? Anyone any idea why it didn't work for me?

It works for me. You get a woman's voice initially who tells you to press 1 to access your message, which is then read by Tom Baker.

I think this service has probably been used a record number of times over the past few days, just with people trying to get Tom Baker to say rude things. Or is that just me?

You will here Tom Baker if you are texting from networks other than T-Mobile and their virtuals (Virgin, easyMobile, Fresh etc).

Other networks just use the BT system, T-Mobile use their own.

Bollocks! I use Fresh. That's why it doesn't work!

How annoying that BT made no mention of this when they announced Tom Baker's voice

It's not BT's fault that T-Mobile choose to use their own system to deliver the message rather than pass the message through to BT's system!
