I live in an area without cell service. I can facetime over my wifi. Is there a way to text message over the wifi to a non-iphone?

If your carrier supports it with Wi-Fi calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.


See: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  1. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
  2. Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported.



Contact cell carrier for specifics.
