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.

 
In countries like mine, you can know by looking at the first digit if a
phone number is landline or mobile. But not in the north american continent.
 

Same in the UK. Numbers starting 01/02/03 are landlines and those starting
07 are mobile or other "special" numbers like pagers.
