Texting over wi-fi

[Flashheatmvp3]

I'm going to be out of town and not have cell service but will have wi-fi. My girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone and can't download a messaging app. Is there a way to text using my actual cellphone # like imessage? Have heard google voice is nice but never really looked into it. Any suggestions?

Try Talkatone, if you have a Google Voice telephone number. Makes and receives free voice calls, and makes and receives free texts using your Google Voice number.

thanks yeah starting to look like my best bet is just getting a new # with google voice and having her add that to her address book as well. Thanks for the help

I usually forward my Verizon number to my Google Voice number, when I'm going to be in a WiFi only zone.

If you are on Sprint, Google Voice will allow you to use your normal Sprint phone number. It works very well.
