How does that solve the problem? Landlines will still continue to exist and people will still mistakenly believe they can receive texts. It seems like a doable solution to have non-mobile numbers auto return a message that it cannot receive text messages. Where do the text messages to landlines go? Into a black hole? I assume there is a service that at some point realized that the number cannot receive a text message and sends it to dev/nul. Instead, why can't that service ping back?
- PKop 5y ago>How does that solve the problem? It directly solves your problem does it not? You now have a number that can receive texts... I don't understand your confusion. I'm specifically asking you why do you have a landline? The "problem" is solved by not having one. >to have non-mobile numbers auto return a message that it cannot receive text messages I've seen these errors when I've mistakenly sent an sms to a landline. This already exists, maybe just for some carriers though.
- irrational 5y agoI can have a landline if I want. There is no law that I have to get a mobile number.
- PKop 5y agoI'm not talking about laws, I legitimately am just asking why you want to lol. Username checks out
- irrational 5y agoOur children do not have cell phones and their baby sitters often don't have cell phones (at least the younger baby sitters). A landline allows those without cell phones to make calls out of the house.
