Tom Txt

From sending "hilarious" random messages to each other at work to Chris Genn randomly txting Gilmour's home phone gibberish we all know and love BT's txt a landline service but did you know...

Former Dr Who Tom Baker, who found new fame as the saucy narrator for hit TV comedy show "Little Britain", has taken over as the new voice of BT's text service.
Texts sent to and from landline phones can now be delivered as voice messages in Baker's recognizable deep tone for the next three months.
"What appeals to me most is the thought that I will be bringing good news to people whether it is a cheeky message, a birthday greeting or just a quick 'hello,'" Baker said. "Whatever it is, hopefully my voice will bring a smile to people's faces."
Baker, who spent 11 days recording every single sound in the English language and 11,593 phrases, will be able to blow kisses -- by texting "xx" -- and can even deliver rude words. BT said around 230,000 of its customers were registered to send texts from their landline with around 1.4 million texts sent every week.
