International Texting

Hello,

Basically looking for a new number (have a seperate phone), so I can just send texts to USA, so doesn't need data.

See ones that give 100 minutes but don't mention texts - can anyone recommend.

Thank you,
Me :)

    May be helpful if you give more detail of why you want a new number only to text the US and not to use more modern messaging (iMessage, WhatsApp etc)? 

    What volumes you sending?
    Need to be able to receive replies?

    Need to keep it seperate, and it is for an elderly deaf person (and others, support network getting set up - going to volunteer to help) I am trying to keep in touch with but dont want to  muddle up the texts with my own phone.
