Text between Touch and "dumb" phone?

I am totally ignorant on all forms of messaging. What our family has:

1. cheapie cell phones (no smart phones of any brand) but we can text back and forth.

2. 5th generation iPod Touch with IOS 7 and Messages, all updated fully.


Can I use the Touch to send a basic text message to our family cheap cell phones? (and receive a text message from any of these cell phones)


Any suggestions to settings on Touch would be appreciated. Apple support pages I have found so far seem to be outdated and screens don't match.

Yes, with a free third party app such as Text + or TextMe. Find them by going to the App Store and search on Text.
