Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2006receiving sms from mobiles on BT landlines
I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS. This works fine apart from SMS from a few mobiles which is always rendered into VoiceText. Anyone know why this might be? Thanks. sceptic wrote on 29/10/2006 : > I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS. > This works fine apart from SMS from a few mobiles which is always > rendered into VoiceText. Anyone know why this might be? Thanks. Are they from T-Mobile mobiles? > sceptic wrote on 29/10/2006 : > > I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS. > > This works fine apart from SMS from a few mobiles which is always > > rendered into VoiceText.

Does it make a difference? >> sceptic wrote on 29/10/2006 : >> > I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Yes. Does it make a difference? Methinks it does - AFAIK, T-mobile use their own system for sending the messages, rather than BT's, which means they're /always/ delivered as voice. > >> sceptic wrote on 29/10/2006 : > >> > I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS.

That would explain it then. BTW How do I stop this Group publishing my email address every time I post? on 29/10/2006, sceptic supposed : >>>> sceptic wrote on 29/10/2006 : >>>>> I've got a Philips SE 435 DECT phone which will send and receive SMS.

Erm, munge it in your newsreader settings. > BTW How do I stop this Group > publishing my email address every > time I post? It's customary on usenet to use a munged or invalid address for posting. The one above, for example was only used for posting, never as an email address. Other people put things like fred@nowhere.kom into thier usenet client as the posting address. Occasionally, though, a usenet server will require a valid posting address, hence my use of a throw-away account. It is good nettiquette to put a valid email address in the .sig, although I rarely bother - I post my email address in disguised form when I say something that might generate private traffic. -- bob harvey {at} europe {spot} kom <<- remove spaces, make the obvious changes, to reply. > > BTW How do I stop this Group > > publishing my email address every [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > -- > bob harvey {at} europe {spot} kom <<- remove spaces, make the > obvious changes, to reply. Right. But my ISP (was Wanadoo, now Orange) has simply terminated its news server. So I am unable to use a usenet client, unless I pay separately for access to a usenet server. So, the end result of this is that I am posting from the web. In order to register I had to give Google a valid email address, which it now publishes every time I post.

I have looked but cannot find one that is working and that carries uk.telecom.mobile. Do you know of one? Thanks for your help. >> sceptic@gmx.co.uk declared for all the world to hear... >> > Right.

You could try http://www.teranews.com/ . I find them reasonably good most of the time, though they have the occasional slowdown. There are conditions e.g. max 50Mb download per day (though can get this lifted if you want to pay.) Also, they do ask for a $3.95 start-up fee but that is it - nothing else to pay, ever. I have found them to be worth it so far (using them for aboyut 6 months). Cheers, JL sceptic@gmx.co.uk declared for all the world to hear... > > Use a free public news server. > Ahh.

There used to be one run by the University of Berlin, but it's been a very long while since I've needed to use one so I have no idea if it's still going.

Still going, and still reliable, but no longer free. Although - 10 Euro per year seems quite reasonable to me. sceptic@gmx.co.uk declared for all the world to hear... > BTW How do I stop this Group > publishing my email address every > time I post? Put in a fake one. SignatureRegards Jon |
