EIRCOM has been allowed to proceed with its new fixed line text messaging service after agreeing with the telecoms regulator and other licensed operators (OLOs) to provide a wholesale price whereby the latter can offer a similar service.

Eircom continued to advertise the phones after the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) blocked the launch of the product, as the company did not provide operators with a wholesale price.

From today, Eircom 4012 users will be able to send and receive text messages and can access the text to speech facilities.

Saw that this morning so I decided to send my landline a test text message to see if the SMS to Voice works, and yes it does! I don't think 02 have decided on a pricing scheme for texting landlines yet, although I can't see it being any more expensive.
