Text messaging has been around since 1992. Consumers expect you to have it. If you don’t have text messaging enabled on your landline, your customers won’t know that. Even after they text you, they may not know you didn’t get their message—they’ll simply assume you’re ignoring them.
“Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home.” Click here to watch and listen to George’s hilarious voicemail sample.

Also note, this system works over your NETWORK (not your phone wires). It will connect to up to 4 standard phone lines (or Internet-based VoIP service) but the connection between the phones and the UCM6204 "base" are done over a Ethernet NETWORK. The bad news is that if you only have phone lines running everywhere (2 or 4 wires only) then you will have to run new wiring. The good news is that if you already have a computer network and computers at each phone location, these phones can be connected to that existing network.
