Question by ktf_org: Is there any such thing as successfully sending a text message to a VOIP home phone (not a cell phone)?
I know someone who has a VOIP home phone service and would like to get certain text messages sent to them there and get them via email as opposed to their cell phone. Has anyone ever heard of this idea or if it could be done?

Yes, it is called “Text to Land line” (regardless if the number you are trying to push the text to is VOIP it will still work.) I know Sprint does it, so do others.
Here are a few links to check out:

Because DECT 6 phones are digital, SMS is beginning to show-up in the feature list on these phones in Europe. But, North America seems to be behind the times with the new DECT 6 technology implementations. I expect it will start becoming a mainstream option on DECT 6 landline phones, and VoIP phones in North America in the near future…
P.S.
The text to voice service mentioned above does not do what you are asking. With that service the text is converted to voice mail – that is not the same as receiveing a text message as text dirctly on the phone. Like I said, in Europe that feature is being implemented directly into DECT phones…
