There used to be a web-based text service that's now retired (replaced by Verizon Messages) that was called Vtext.com. You can still use the feature where someone can e-mail you and it show up on your phone as a text by e-mailing to your phone using an e-mail address:
your10-digitphonenumber @ vtext.com (without the spaces) for SMS
your10-digit phonenumber @ vzwpix.com (without the spaces) for MMS
