I've just sent text messages from my Lebara mobile both to my Plusnet landline (yes, I still have copper!) and to my AAISP VoIP line. They both behave in exactly to same way: The phone rings, displaying the same incoming number in both cases (0800 028 2321). When I answer it, a synthetic (but realistic) voice says "This is the SMS service from BT" (and spells out the calling number), and then says "To listen to the message press 1" On pressing 1, the message is read out in an intelligent way which could almost be human. Can anyone explain this? It looks like the text to audio step occurs earlier in the chain than some people thought, perhaps after evaluating whether the final recipient number can accept SMS messages. -- Cheers, Roger
