texting to a landline??

Done a search and can't find anything on this. Didn't know you could it until a friend told me the other day!

Any thoughts, extra charges etc...?

TIA

    Normal text charge from my Orange mobile but I was charged although I have five free texts a day it didn't include the text in the free texts.

    Someone I know from MSE, sent a message to her husband telling him she loved him :eek:

    Apparently very funny to hear it read by a strange woman :rotfl:

    Thanks for that infor. Does this apply to free online 02 texts as well? Daughter has 5 free texts from Orange and sometimes send text to my landline. She has never bothered to check whether she has to pay them as normal text. She will stop this practice now she knows she has to pay for it.

    I'm on the o2 online PAYG and last time I tried it was part of the free text allowance.
