Sending jokes to your parents in the middle of the night is not a smart idea
The idea of texting messages to a landline that just reads them out seems fantastic, and we’d want to be able to do it. That’s kind of cool in a ’90s kind of way. If you have an iPhone or Android, there’s certainly a method to accomplish this, such as recording voice messages or configuring your phone to read aloud the text. It’s not like texts transmitted to landlines have the same “drop-in and vanish” aspect.
We make this assumption because we’ve never done it, and it’s something we’d want to do. When it comes to joking about with our parents at night, we’re not going to do it!
