LLZub is correct. In order for this feature to work your phone must support MAP. This Bluetooth standard developed for the exchange of text messages allows many phones to more successfully interact with SYNC for reading and displaying text messages. We continue to be hopeful that the iPhone will eventually be among that list.
For more info on MAP, check out:

Certain phones will allow you to have you messages read, but not send canned messages. Others will do just the opposite. It's all based upon the Bluetooth profile within the phone.

Anybody know if there is a way to add the bluetooth MAP to a phone? My HTC EVO does not have MAP standard. I'm wondering if there is an app or root I can do to add it in...

I'll put a little more research into later, but it looks like I'm screwed for now. And it's not really a Ford issue it's the cell phone manufacturers...

I have the Evo3d as well. It has MAP I believe, but you have to turn it on. I turned it on but the text thing still isn't working. I guess I need to figure out how to do the SYNC update. This is all very confusing.

Thanks Jason. I checked mine and MAP is enabled on it. I still don't have the ability to do anything via the current Sync, but at least I know it's enabled. I was trying to get my BT to forward to my TouchPad recently, and noticed it would, but any messages I replied to via the TP were showing as an error, but sending anyway.
The info you posted might work for anyone using Android 2.3.

I wanna see this work for somebody. I think it's a great feature and one I needed desperately a few weeks back.

My 2011 'vert would not read my texts to me when using my LG enV3, but my 2012 coupe did! It was so cool!
Then I jumped on the expensive iPhone4S bandwagon. Was SO excited to get my phone, until I tried to get Sync to read me a text and it simply said "Unsupported function".
Inconsiderate bastards.
In reading this thread the same theme struck me as I've seen in the workplace everywhere I've worked: The tail wagging the dog. Instead of IT supporting the business and providing what the business needs (or would like to do), it's IT that is driving the business by telling the business what IT will & won't do, therefore effectively telling the business what it can & cannot do. In the sync situation, it's IT (whether Ford or Apple or whoever) telling the customer what kind of phone they have to use, instead of responding to provide the service/features the customer wants/needs.

It took them several phone iterations just to provide MMS. There is no Flash for iOS. Is Flash a dying technology? Sure. HTML5 will probably kill it off once and for all. In 2-3 years. So why does Apple not support Flash? Because they don't want to. Period. And in the end, people are so mystified by that Apple with the bite taken out of it that they'll buy the product anyway and jump on the "Flash it out!" bandwagon. That being said, I have an iPad, an HTC Flyer and Motorola Photon. I'm an equal opportunity mobile device junkie.
You described terrible, "empire building" IT. I pride myself on providing the business with what it needs AND offering the business things that I think will be useful that it might not otherwise know about. If something is "forced down the businesses throat" it is generally not a function of my IT but a function of upper management having an ulterior motive.
Oh yeah, Sync RULES!

While it was "cool" that my Windows Phone with the Mango update was able to have sync read out and let me reply to SMS messages, I can easily live without it. I am not in that big a rush to read/hear them.
I love the Sync system for all the other things it does.

Good to hear that Microsoft's phone is finally fully compatible with Microsoft's sync system. The fact that WP7 was initially certified with "Basic" compatibility with Sync should have been embarrassing to the WP7 team. Truly.
