where does a text go if you send it to a house phone?

Answer 1

Not exactly sure...never tried it....It would probably not let let you send it through?

Answer 2

It might allow the phone to ring on the other end and then the person at home gets a dead line when they answer, but more probable - the message would return with a message such as 'failed to send.'

Certain wireless phone and landline services however can offer an automated voice reading, though this is not usually available for international calls or all phone line connections.

Answer 3

Can their landline phone receive it? Early models can't. If the owner has a text display option, and their service provider can relay the message - then it goes from your service provider to theirs. (From one communication company server to the other's; the same process as cellphones.)

Then it is sent on to the person's house phone. Depending on their settings, their phone might ring once, or a few times, or stay silent & display "Text received". From there, they view it, and choose to keep or delete it.

Blind people have other deals with their phone company - they can have it read out to them instead, as a voice message, when they check their messages.

If it is an abusive message, a court order can request that the sending company release their copy to a lawyer. The recipient has to request a call trace in writing to allow this. OK?

Answer 4

I have Verizon, and if you try to send a text to a land line, then it offers you the option of converting it into a voice message (it has this cheesy artificial voice try to say what you wrote with pretty bad results). If you try to do this, make sure that everything is written phonetically (for example, if you wanted to say lol, you would actually have to write out "laughing out loud" instead, or else the voice would say "lol" as it's written -- like the first syllable of lollipop . . . lol :D ). Hope this helps you!! (But I wouldn't recommend this service . . . it's kind of weird to pick up your phone and hear this . . . ) :D

Answer 5

I send messages to my cousin on her landline phone all the time. An automated operator reads her the message, and she can reply via a voice message. I just receive a text message saying that she replied and I call and listen to it. I have a Sprint phone, but I don't think that matters. You should try it.

Answer 6

At least with Sprint, it does something called "text to landline" and the person who answers the phone (or the machine) will hear a robot read the text.

I discovered this just a few weeks ago when i went to text my boyfriend something about how i miss him and hes gorgeous, and for some damned reason it got sent to one of my employees. SOOOOOO EMBARRASSING! And borderline sexual harrassment, if he didn't have a sense of humor.

Answer 7

its pretty crazy. i did it once. well actually i called my friend's cell phone and didnt leave a message. she txt back saying "who is this?" and i just got a call from an automated machine sounding thing saying that there was a text message from a mobile phone to a landline from the number _____________ and then it read me the message. afterwards it gave you the option of calling the number back. it was crazy i didnt know that was possible.

Answer 8

I did this once on accident, my dad got it on his office phone, he said that it was a recorded message for a girl saying that it was from me it told him that I love him -did all that make since?
