What exactly are you trying to do? Why do you need your landline to receive SMS messages?

i havent had a landline since 2003-4. I still have XM radio in vehicle after quitting in 2004, and still get all the stations. haha

Try Zipwhip

I have kept my landline. In my opinion it gives the appearance of legitimate business conceded for no good reasons. I even have a fax machine and enjoy using it.

Vrindavan you can use some SMS platform providers for that.

Best thing to do is to port your landline over to Twilio and then you will have voice and SMS capability with the number.

I used to use Vonage and I wanted to get rid of the $32/mo charge since we didn't use our landline number much anymore, but we have had the number for many years and I wanted to keep it. I ported the number to Twilio and set it up to forward incoming calls to my old landline number to my google voice number.

Twilio charges me $1 per month, any outgoing calls are free because its Google voice, and any incoming calls on my landline number are 1 cent per minute.

To receive SMS, simply set up a little script that forwards incoming SMS messages to your cell phone. Works great.
