Received as a voice message
For some years now, German telephone companies have made it possible to receive SMS messages with any landline telephone. The SMS-to-Speech process is used, in which the SMS is read to the recipient by a voice computer. All network operators also support the automatic conversion of English and French texts into the original language.
However, delivery attempts are only made between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Short messages sent as voice messages from 11:01 pm to 6:59 am will not be sent to the recipient until the next morning. If the recipient cannot be reached, the system tries to deliver the message every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours and then every 60 minutes thereafter.

Telephone providers who do not operate their own service mostly use Anny Way. An example of this is Vodafone .

reception
SMS can also be received in text form with appropriately configured SMS-capable landline telephones. This happens in a similar way to receiving SMS messages on cell phones.

If there is no registration, the SMS will also be read out on devices that could receive the message as text. If it is not possible to receive SMS as a text message, the Anny Way SMS center automatically switches to voice output.
The receipt of SMS messages is free of charge.
shipping
SMS-enabled landline telephones can also be used to send SMS messages to any landline or cell phone after the "SMS as text" service has been previously registered for this connection.
Sending SMS from landline telephones is usually less convenient than from cell phones, as landline telephones usually have smaller displays and are not equipped with automatic text recognition such as T9 .
You can request a free shipping confirmation from the Telekom SMS center. To do this, the text of the SMS must begin with the confirmation code * T #.
Sending from landline to landline phones is often much cheaper than shipping to cell phones. For example, Deutsche Telekom charges 6 ct for sending from landline to landline, but 19 ct for sending to cell phones. Sending a message via Anny Way costs from € 0.09 per SMS.
