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?

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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
