Talk + UMB without having to pay for SMS? | Phone/Device Issues and Features | Consumer forum

Im wondering if theres a way to just pay for Talk and Data on speakout and avoid paying for txt messages, but still send/receive them.

Pretty much im hoping that the data can be used to send texts. I know theres some free services out there that can send SMS, but is there a nice way to have it integrated into my iphone? I would want the recipient of my sms see that its coming from my number and not some random number.

Anybody been successful at this?
