Sprint Nextel announced Text to Landline, a clever service that allows Sprint customers to SMS any landline phone in the US. The text message is converted into a voice message which gets played back for the reciepient. At that point they can reply with a preset text message or record a voice message.
Text to Landline automatically kicks in if the number an SMS is going to is not a mobile phone. Standard text message rates apply.
How do the voice messages back get processed? ARe they translated back into text? Or do you basically get a new voice mail? That kind of ruins the benefit of texting (like if you were in a meeting or something).
This is a new thing that might catch on really quick!
i was wondering if you could check your nextel voicemail from a landline phone if so what do you dial to do it
hey whole idea of text messages is so you wont have to put your phone up to your ear. text to landline is on my phone and i hate it. i want it off!
This has been out for months at least. Must have been a soft launch or something.
