Kent German Former senior managing editor / features
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Sprint today announced a new text-messaging service that further closes the gap between cell and landline phones. The carrier's Text to Landline service will enable Sprint customers to send a text message to any 10-digit landline phone. A sent text message is converted to a voice message, the recipient's phone rings, then the message is read to them. The recipient can even respond by recording a voice message that will be sent back to the sender. It sounds like a cool feature to me, and the best part is that Text to Landline won't cost extra.
