Texting is not an operating system feature but a telecom feature. As the user above mentioned it can be possible if you use an air card or laptop with a SIM card. This would also depend on the telecom company if they provide an app to send texts to others.
Apple has come the closest to this with their iMessage function across operating systems such as mobile or full fledged OS. But their message system is a routing service still, not a telecom feature And works with other i-users only.
