New to iphone. Looking at conserving data. Turned off cellular data and no unable to receive text messages despite good cell service. Do you absolutely need the data to send and receive a simple text with iphone 5s?

No. You must have cellular data turned on for MMS, but not standard text only messages.

If the messages are iMessages, sent and received via Apple's servers, then YES you do need data enabled.
If they are standard text (not group or picture) messages then no data req'd.
