Abstract
A Landline Texting Engine associates a proxy telephone number with a select landline telephone number for forwarding incoming calls intended for the select landline telephone number to the proxy telephone number. The Landline Texting Engine intercepts a forwarded incoming call. The Landline Texting Engine detects incoming voice data in the forwarded incoming call. In response to detecting the incoming voice data, the Landline Texting Engine sends text data on behalf of the select landline telephone number from the proxy telephone number, the text data identified as being sent from the select landline telephone number.
