No texting if data is off?

I want to converve my data however I'm not able to get text messages when the data is turned off?! This is BS! I have unlimited texting on my plan with Verison so I pay for this feature!

iPhone 5

Yes this works!!! Here's the deal: iphone defaults to imessage when wifi is off and imessage requires data. SO...if you want to conserve your data turn off imessage, you can not use imessage when data is off. So settings>messages-imessage OFF, SMS ON (this is probably on already but just to be sure). This works, tested with my phone and hubbys. Thanks everyone!
