You can now text my home landline

We have a new telephone answering machine with DECT handsets.
Not only do the handsets have screens (the old ones did too) but you can send and receive text (SMS) messages.

We did have to register for the service, but it is a great improvement on the voice-mails we had been getting each time someone texted us.

Extra points to someone since this appears to use a BT service and we are on Virgin :-)
