Dec. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Pine Belt Wireless launches Text to Landline Service

December 2011 - TeleMessage, a leading developer of messaging solutions, is pleased to announce that Pine Belt Wireless, a full-service telecommunications provider serving subscribers in Alabama, has launched its Text to Landline application.

Pine Belt Wireless has added the Text to Landline service which allows its customers to send text messages to home phones all over the US. The Pine Belt Wireless customer simply enters a landline number in the “TO” field of the text message, types their message and sends it off. 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 Pine Belt Wireless customer will also receive a status text message telling him if the message was delivered to a live person or a voicemail system and a reply text message if the home phone recipient replies.

“The Text to Landline application connects wireless texters with friends and family who may not yet text message.” says Mark Carlin, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at TeleMessage. ‘Now a Pine Belt customer can send text message to his mother’s home phone letting her know he will be staying late after school or another may send a message to her father’s fixed phone letting him know she will be with her boyfriend until 6 o’clock. The parents are happy because they know where there kids are and the kids are happy because they do not have to talk to their parents.”

“Pine Belt is committed to providing our customers with superior services,” says John Nettles, President of Pine Belt Wireless. “Our new Text to Landline service let’s wireless subscribers bridge the gap by texting to our Pine Belt landline customers as well as any landline in the US and Canada.
