About: The Text to Landline Service
Overview
Text to Landline messaging allows you to send a text message from your mobile phone to any landline phone in Canada or the U.S.
Text messages are converted into voice messages for the recipient.
How it Works
Once a Text to Landline message is sent, a call is placed to the recipient so they can listen to the message in voice format. If there is no answer, the message is placed on the recipient's answering service. If there is no answering service, the system will attempt to deliver the message until the maximum number of rings is reached, then will retry after 5 minutes, and once more after 15 minutes.
Any customer with a text messaging-capable phone can use the Text to Landline service and no subscription is required. Standard text messaging rates apply (usually $0.20 per message). There is no charge to the recipient of a Text to Landline message.
Important: Text to Landline is currently available in English.

Applications that normally require greater bandwidth, such as video streaming or peer-to-peer file sharing will also continue to work, but the slower speed may affect application performance. We will send you a text message notifying you when you have used 70% and 100% of the full-speed allotment included in your plan, at which point you may choose to purchase a data add-on to add more full-speed data to your plan. In all cases, usage is subject to the Freedom Mobile Terms of Service and Fair Usage Policy.
