How to text from iPhone to Android without Messaging Plan


Recommended Posts

Ok so I am looking at going back Android but a friend of mine has the iPhone and still wants to be able to text message back and forth with me. I have unlimited messaging plan, but he does not have a messaging plan at all. The way we did it before was strictly through iMessage which is free.

My question is, is there any way we can continue to text each other without him having to sign up for a messaging plan?

Since you're in the US, Google Voice would be extremely viable, as would WhatsApp, but since GV doesn't require an additional account I would go with that.

WhatsApp I have heard good things about. My question though, is do both users have to have WhatsApp or can he just use it since he doesn't have the messaging plan and I will get them in my normal messaging app?

A solution where you get them in your normal messaging app doesn't exist...

Google Voice

Google Talk

Skype

Many carriers allow you to email a text (5555555555@vtext.com) will send a txt from email to a phone with a texting plan.
