With Text to Landline, Sprint customers can quickly touch base with someone on a landline phone, even when a voice call might not be convenient. As more and more people begin to rely on text, instant messaging and chat services for quick communication, this offering is just one more way that Sprint is making sure our customers have a wide range of options to meet all their messaging needs.

Once again, this adds another brick to the building that people keep discussing that's rising around the world of voice.

I had lived and worked in London, and was familiar with the Tube stops where the bombs went off.

This a great marketing tool.
