Whilst testing out a user registration today we inadvertently discovered a cool feature for people in the UK. You can send text messages to regular BT landlines in the UK from Treasuremytext (or any mobile for that matter). After sending a message it works like this. The phone begins to ring and you get the message that was sent read out by a rather good sounding artificial posh English woman. Unfortunately BT Text doesn’t have the ability to forward messages so you can’t then save them with us. They also destroy your messages after 24 hours so it might have been nice. If there was a forward option though it may have proved a little tricky to figure out how to actually send it too the cryptically interpreted Plus 31 billion, 621 million 224 thousand 500 and 80. (If you’re wondering what that is, it’s our phone number, - +31621224580 but the BT message lady converts it to a very big number indeed!) It sounds more like a statistical probability number from the HitchHikers Guide than a phone number.
That’s hilarious - you would really have thought that they would recognise that type of number as a ‘phone number’, really. Very cute though!
