Is there a way to send/receive sms texts over wifi?

[AC Question]

I currently have an I-Phone and live way out in the country. I have wanted an android for a long time, but I have to stick with my I-Phone solely because of I-Message. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Get a Google Voice number and use that for texting. It works over ANY data connection and will even allow you to make phone calls over WiFi when you use the Hangouts Dialer (might also work for receiving calls if the caller uses your GV number).
