Do Samsung/Android Phones text via wifi?

[AC Question]

I have a Note 3 and my wife has a Galexy S5...we both don't get much cell reception at work...can we send texts while connected to wifi without cell service? Or do we have to DL a messenger like Kik?

Welcome to Android Central! I don't think SMS via the stock Messaging app can work without a good cell signal. However, you could use Hangouts to send instant messages via wi-fi.

I think you can send Sms through WiFi if you're using Hangouts app

You can use hangouts for SMS over WiFi, but MMS over WiFi depends on your carrier.
