Tom Baker has been brought in as the new voice of BT’s text-messaging system. Now, when you send a text message to any landline in the UK, the recipient will hear the voice of Little Britain speaking back to them. The new system is much clearer and less robotic-like than before. It’ll even recognise text-speak abbreviations, such as “gr8” and “cu l8r”. Test it out now by texting your home or office number! 🙂
