When someone unknowingly sends a text to a landline, does he get some

   That used to be the case. I use a landline and rarely use my cellphone,
so I don't give out that number. But cellphone addicts assume all phones
are cellphones. Until maybe 2 years ago, they would get a message that
they were trying to text a landline. Then they'd call me. Now they get no
message. They just tell me later that they've been texting me and I
have to rail at them for being an idiot.
   I don't know why the change. It can't go through, so why pretend
that it did? It's possible that these people are just not paying attention,
but it's happened to me with multiple people, so I think they're just
getting no feedback.
