This is news to me. Do you have any example devices? Cursory internet search isn’t turning anything up.

Verizon, the ILEC where I am, provides a text-to-voice service if you pay for it. Basically converts an SMS to voicemail.

I guess IP phones can do SMS though.

The news says that TurkTelekom (home landline) now (2006) has SMS capabilities. Back then the company was only landline. There was no wireless landline. I think there is still no wireless landline. (Only few years ago Avea has merged with TurkTelekom and now TurkTelekom refers to both landline phones and one of 3 mobile service providers in Turkey)

Aroud 2006-2010 I was sending SMS from my mobile phone to my coisin's landline (yes, connected with a cord to the street) and because his phone didn't had SMS support a computerazied female voice would read the SMS for free. I think it is still valid.

I think you can search for dect phone with SMS support. I was thinking to buy one few years ago but they were a bit expensive.

Sometimes there is a service you can sign up for with a website to receive and send SMS from. Sometimes the phone company calls you and reads the text to you. Sometimes the phone company sends an email to the email account on file (this sometimes happens for wireless text messages too, if undeliverable by other means…)
