Default B.T. - Texting Land Lines.....

Anyone used the service yet??

You can text any landline from your mobile and a robot will read your text message out......

Sounds like there could be some fun to be had

My mate was working on his drive and the house a couple of doors down has an annoying dog which they lock out so it howls to get back in.

My mate ran inside, due the phonebook out, luckily found there number and text it..

"Shut the dog up or I will come round and kill it"

It soon went in

That's all well and good but doesn't it tell the recipient of your text your mob number?

I sent a couple to you


Paul - I sent one to Arments, saying...

"Hello Cutie Pie. One of us is in Big Trouble. First... I would just like to get to know you. Who is your Daddy, and what does he do?"


Apparently it was really funny to hear
