Welcome to the BT text messaging service on your BT
Elements. Your BT Elements phone can send and receive text
messages from participating mobile networks and compatible
landline telephones in the UK.
The fixed line text service is provided under BT’s terms and
conditions for telephone service. These can be found by
visiting the BT.com website at:

Subscribe to the text messaging service
When you send your first text message from your BT Elements
phone you will automatically be registered for the service.
On receipt of your first text through the service, the system
will send you a welcome text message back.
You may also register by sending the word ‘Register’ to
00000 upon which you will receive a confirmation message.
Cost of the fixed line service
There is no subscription charge (other than the subscription
to Caller Display). Visit the BT.com website (www.bt.com) to
find out how much it costs to send a text message (depends
upon your call package).
IMPORTANT
You must subscribe to your Network
Provider’s Caller Display service so
that you can use text messaging.
A quarterly fee may be payable,
please contact your network provider
for more details.
You may also send messages to
landline phones that are NOT text
compatible. Messages to non-
compatible lines will be connected to
voice text and delivered in spoken
words to the telephone as a call.
Please note that the conversion can
translate common abbreviations and
smileys etc, but to ensure maximum
clarity of message delivery,
abbreviations etc should be used
sparingly.
