Unfortunately, iPhones cannot receive traditional SMS messages over Wi-Fi like iMessage. You would need a service or app that allows for messaging over Wi-Fi, like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, to receive texts from non-iPhone users in areas with no cellular reception.

Can iPhone receive SMS via Wi-Fi like iMessage does?
