In some countries, if you send an SMS to a landline number, the mobile operator will record the message and then call this number.

If you press 1 you hear the message and after it you have the possibility to press 1 to repeat message or 2 to repeat the sender phone number. In a perfect world it's OK, but not here. There is fax detection, users send to voicemail directly, companies message with open hours aso. How to treat this with Asterisk knowing that such kind of messages are sended -at least for some operators- with a special callerID? BT in the UK use a specific caller ID when speaking SMS messages to you - however you still have 2 choices - you can listen to the message as spoken by BT's Digital Dot, or if you instrict them, they'll send the message digitally (over the analogue line as FSK tones) so that compatable equipment can then display the original message text (e.g. Siemens DECT phones) However, that's just BT. Another provider of landline numbers in the UK which I use are experimenting with posting the message to a website/URL so that they can then distribute them via email (or text to speech). And some telco's are just ignoring it entirely. So I doubt there will be a universal solution. If your country supports switching to FSK sending, then it might be worth while investigating the SMS application and doing it all digitally. You could then setup a local number to email map and email the message rather than try to speak it. BT's system does produce some intereting results...
