The BT system works as follows:
1) All BT phones can receive SMS as a voice message
2) Certain phones can send SMS via a special message centre number
3) To receive SMS as text to your phone you have to send a SMS first to "register" the number and subscribe to caller ID
4) All future SMS are receved as text and not voice

The NTL system can definately do (1). I guess the only way to find out if it can support the others is if you try to send a SMS via the message centre (and make sure you are subscribed to caller ID).
