How to iMessage with out wifi/data

I have iMessaged from my iPod for years and recently got an iPhone 6s. But I am on a pay and talk plan. I can figure out how to get other iMessage users to be able to text back when I have no wifi/data. I figured out how to send and they have received it. Will I have to get a data plan?

Sending a message without iMessage requires a cellular data connection. Either way, you need an internet connection of some kind to message.

If your plan includes texts iOS users can send you messages by changing settings to “Send as “SMS”.

Thank you. I realize that but I can't seem to figure out how to send the message without iMessage if someone has an iPhone I can't seem to get their messages when I don't have wifi. Sorry if that is confusing.

Ok. I am guessing I'll need to get a data plan. Thanks
