I've got a text enabled phone. Why am I receiving spoken text messages?
If you've got a text-enabled phone and BT Caller Display, your phone will let you know when you get a text message. You can then read the text on your phone screen.
You will receive your text messages as voice messages if:
- You aren't registered with BT Text
- You don't have BT's Caller Display service
First, check that you've registered for BT Text. To do this, either text a friend and you'll automatically be registered, or text 'register' to 00000.
Please also check that you've got BT Caller Display >
