    SAME. We had no texting plan because the phone companies charged per-text at the time.

    That’s when I learned about the email gateways for all the major carriers so at least I could “text” when I was at home via email.

      I didn’t figure out that particular trick until pretty late, unfortunately, but it did serve me VERY well during high school.
