Text to Landline Service launched Northwest Missouri Cellular

July 26, 2010 - PRLog -- July 2010 - TeleMessage, a leading developer of messaging solutions, is pleased to announce that Northwest Missouri Cellular, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hawkeye Switching LLC, has launched its Text to Landline application.

Northwest Missouri Cellular customers can now send text messages to landline phones and receive replies back. The new text messaging feature allows cellular customers to send text messages to home phones all over the US and Canada by simply typing the landline number into the “TO” field instead of a mobile number, typing a message and sending it off. It is no different than sending a regular text message to a mobile phone. The message is then delivered to the home phone as a voice message. The home phone recipient can even respond back using their own voice. The Northwest Missouri Cellular customer will also receive a status text message telling him if the message was delivered to a live person or a voicemail or answering machine and a reply text message if the home phone recipient replies.  

“The application is mostly used by young people communicating with their parents that do not text message letting them know where they are and what they are doing” says Mark Carlin, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at TeleMessage. ‘Kids don’t call any more it is all about text messaging. Now more parents know what their kids are doing.”

“This was one of the easiest implementations we have ever done. It did not require any connections, hardware or resources. TeleMessage simply turned it on.” says Roger Bundridge General Manager of Northwest Missouri Cellular.
