Fun with Text Messages to Land Lines

Just got an absolute cracker on my parents. For those of you that dont know, Tom Baker is now the voice of texts to BT Land Lines.

Sent this to the parents earlier.

"Hello. I am the Doctor. My dog K 9 is missing. Have you seen him?"

It was a complete :confused:

moment for them. I've just listened to the message and its absolutely flawless. It even sounds like he is asking a question with the addition of the ? at the end of the message i sent.

It really is quite clever stuff.

Do you just write a text and send it to the landline number then!?

Yes, but remember to include full stops where you want pauses, and question marks when you are asking a question etc.

Whats the NTL voice like?

Also does it just cost the same as a normal text

No idea what happens on a non BT line. As far as im aware it costs the same as a normal text.
