International Texting

So I developed a friendship with someone in America and texts flying back and forth have become expensive now for both of us. He doesnt have a smart phone so apps like whatsapp and things like that are not an option. Does anyone know a way of allowing us to communicate via text without the charges?

    Do you? If so, you can use http://smsfree4all.com/free-text-all-countries.php
  • I know you said via Text and his phone isn't a smartphone, but depending how basic it is you could Email each other from your phones instead, but then this would be using data so could end up being just as costly.
