How can you recieve text messages on home phones?

I only ask because I’ve just ordered something from a store and they told me that they would text me when it arrived in store. Then I told them that I had entered a home number into the computer and the girl who was serving me gave me a strange look and told me that homephones can recieve text messages too! Can they?!

Answer #1

No home phones can not recieve texts. The girl at the storee must have been mistaken, unless this is some new thing I have never heard of!!

Answer #2

Write a text on your mobile, send it to a landline. Costs the same as your standard network rate. Works a treat.

Answer #3

Hmmm I dont think home phones can. thats kinda weird for her to say that.

Answer #4

yes you can get a text message on your home phone some how people can do it . I have gotten one. Like, It wasnt text its a machine telling you the text and then tells you all the numbers it was from or forwarded to
