You can send a text message from a mobile phone to any BT landline phone(other landlines?) and the recipient will receive it as voicemail. The cost is free for the recipient and only the cost of a standard text for the sender (or should be included in any free text allowance).
Now the 'fun' bit is that you can send a Christmas jingle to a landline with your message for Free (you just pay fopr the text as above). To do this just insert any of the three Jingles below in you message. You insert the jingle where you want it to be played eg Happy Christmas *Jinglebells# From mew and send to the landline number. The recipient will get a phone call with your message and chosen jingle played as voicemail (if they don't answer, it will be stored on their 1571 voicemail).
*Merryxmas#
*Jinglebells#
*Newyear#
(If the recipiant has a landline phone that can recive send SMS, you have to prefix you message with *tts*Newyear#, *tts*Jinglebells# or *tts*Newyear#. They will receive the text as normal and the jingle.)

My 9 year old daughter was very impressed with this post and spent last night sending messages to Nanny Di with jingle bells and texting her with lots of hugs and kisses. It came at the right time as her Nan was feeling down and these really cheered her up. Thanks OP lovely post.
