In the UK receiving txt messages via landline is (was? I've not had one for
ages) commonplace: texts are delivered as an automated voice message.
 

Yes, still true, it depends on the way the SMS gets sent to you
though. We have DECT phones on a landline which isn't yet VOIP.
The DECT handsets can receive and display SMS but, as I said,
depending on the sender and intermediate systems, we sometimes get an
actual text and other times a computer generated voice reading the
message.

Thanks for confirming. I suspect with the move to VOIP receiving texts will
be transparent in what used to be landlines.
