    Yes. All you need is to have text and SSM plan from your cellular provider.

    In your iMessage settings, also make sure to have the option to send as SMS turned on.  SMS texts use your cellular telephone's voice connections.  Note thought that to send MMS messages, you must have an active cellular data plan and cellular data connection as well (MMS uses both the voice channel and the cellular data channel).

    Doesn't work for me on Verizon.

    If I have Cellular Data turned off, I cannot receive iMessages.

    I have to have Cellular Data turned on to get messages on the iPhone when on the road using a Cellular connection.

    See this Apple document:

    I have not tried turning on the SMS in the settings to see if that does anything or not as mentioned above.
