No Textra does not use WIFI to send SMS, it's simply a replacement for your default messaging APP
Your phone has (basically) two types of connections: phone and data. To send a text, you're basically making a one-way phone call that the carrier knows to convert to words instead of voice.

I use Textra, bought pro. LOVE IT other than the stupid animations of the text sending and receiving. I can't turn off. Otherwise it's VERY customizable, and very user friendly and works amazing. FAR better than my S6s default messaging app.

If you are looking for free internet texting you would need an app where you choose a number, like TextNow
