Re: NTL & SMS
 

well i was just reading the panasonic booklet as my messages sent via the phone were coming back with "FD" next to them. According to the booklet it means it cant connect to the message centre.. maybe ill give panasonic a ring to see what they say

Re: NTL & SMS
 

I just tried sending a text message to my landline from my mobile (O2).. the phone rang saying i had a text message and it read my out my number... but then it gave some options, for exmaple press one to listen to the message... when i pressed 1... it just hung up :(...


i just tried the other phone.. and it worked no probs... i think it hung up cos the first phone i used was still a pulse dial phone...

pretty cool.. never knew u coudl do this... one question tho... do i ahve to pay to receieve this?

Re: NTL & SMS
 

i dont know... but i think its free to recive the message. i was supised to that you can text a landline :shocked: even more so that its the BT sms service delivering the message to people on NTL :Yikes:

First time it happened i think i hang up on it after hearing that trumpet like sound i thoght it was one of those holiday scams WHoops!

its pretty cool though :)

Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

Messing around yesterday I sent a txt to my landline and was amazed to have it ring and a womans voice announce that I had a text. Since when have we been able to do this? According to the voice it was the BT service that sent me the text so I do suspect it may be restricted to O2 customers.

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

Hey fatboy, nope, it works on both my bt and ntl line and me and my fella were playing around with it and it worked from my vodafone and his orange mobile.

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

I`m with vodafone, I`ve just tried it and it works on my ntl number.
Now that will be cheaper than using my phone to call home. Texts only cost me 3p.

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

ha ha, the woman never pronounces the words correctly! 3p? wow mine cost 12p!?

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

does anyone know if the woman understands text speak?

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

i doubt it, she can't speak english! i put xxx at the end of the message and she said cross cross cross, if you use text speak she just reads out her own bizaare rendition

Re: Txt messages to ntl phones.
 

it works here, and i got text back saying that they got it .(t-mobile)

Re: NTL & SMS
 

Got a complete shock today... gave my dearest mum my old mobile... an hour later she'd been pushing buttons and I received a garbled voice msg via BT Text on my NTL Land line!!


(PS She's got an ORANGE sim) :dunce:

:welcome: roundabend!

Yes, apparently Orange have now enabled it (after all the other networks)!

Re: [Merged] NTL & SMS
 

Hi, just surfing around after buying a pair of Pana DECT phones with SMS. Any update on what can or can't be done? I went through the setup pdf posted by Simon, all that happended was I received the SMS I had sent:confused:

Just noted FE is displayed

Cheers!

Re: [Merged] NTL & SMS
 

just tried this on a Panny KX-TCA122E phone and it didnt work. The message was supposed to go to a mobile but actually came back to the landline with FD in the corner

sooo appears not to work on NTL (ex C&W area)

Re: [Merged] NTL & SMS
 

Yep, just checked the manual:
FD = could not connect to SMS message centre
FE = An error occurred (really helpful, not)
EO = number permanently withheld or not subscribed:td:
