Disable? Just don't text a landline.

How are you supposed to know? ...

 

Example, when looking to buy on Craigslist I always text the number on the ad to inquire etc. Sometimes I find myself texting landlines.

There isn't an additional cost to text a landline.

I was just going to say that too. I never knew of any charge for this.  I know the voicemail charges for the voice to text, if that is what he means?

Unless the ad says to specifically call or text for inquiries on the item why would you text the person?  i could see maybe if you were phone shy?  But...if you insist on texting from your end, then I gues you will need to take the time to run the number through one of the websites that show who the owner of the number is.

True story. The app Flixster has a deal where you get free movies added to your ultraviolet account if you spam/text a certain number of people about the deal. I chose businesses in my address book such as the pizza place, my dentist, doctor, etc. I thought I was being slick.

 

After hitting send I remembered text to landline. lol 

 

Oops. :-)
