Good Day & Welcome.
Text to Landline messaging allows you to send a text message from your mobile phone to any landline phone in Canada or the U.S. Text messages are converted into voice messages for the recipient.
In order to assist you, could you please confirm the details of the Text to Landline call you tried to initiate. Were you placing this call from a Bell mobility phone in Canada to a landline in Canada or the U.S.?
Which Bell Mobility plan do you subscribe to? Does your plan include: Unlimited calling, texting and data in Canada and / or the U.S. ?
Did you follow the instructions as shown below:
To send a Text to Landline message exactly as you would a regular text message.
- From your mobile device’s text messaging application, compose a new text message.
- Enter the recipient’s landline phone number in the “To” field.
- Send your text message.
- You will receive a confirmation text message – reply “Y” to accept the applicable charges and have your Text to Landline message delivered.
- If the recipient replies, you will receive a text message with a toll-free number where you can listen to the reply.
- To address a text message to multiple landline numbers, simply enter the recipients' phone numbers in the "To" field. Each phone number will be delivered and billed as a separate message.
- Text to Landline is available in both English and French.
- You can type your message in English or French and have the landline message delivered (or “read”) in the language of your choice. The default language is English.
- To switch the delivery language: before writing your Text to Landline message, text "F" (for French) or "E" (to switch back to English) to short code 4122.
Take care.
