Hi all.
I'm looking to buy a multi handset landline phone that receives SMS
messages.
Do they do what it says on the tin?
SMS from Cellphone to home? and vice-versa..regardless of landline contract
type?

Recommendations?

Fairly sure you need to subscribe to the Caller ID service and have a
POTS line.

This is what my parents have, and it works. They tell me caller ID is
free now.

Yes - it's free, if you continue to use BT for at least a few calls.

Is it by George. I bet that's only on POTS though not ISDN. B-(

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for all replies.
But it looks like I'd have to pay another 50 quid a quarter.
They can shove it!
