Therein lies the problem :-)

Wife's mobile is dead. Needs a new battery. Mine, a used one ex son
has been reclaimed by son because he cracked the screen on his. Anyway,
neither wife or self actually turn ours on unless we actually need to,
by which time the battery is flat anyway.

Exactly our problem. There's a thread on ok.mobile where I complain
that although our landline *can* receive SMS messages as text I can't
persuade many systems that send them that this is so.
