Is there a way to send SMS messages to a phone from a computer (chromebook) without incurring data charges on the phone user?

Update:

My fiance is currently without a cell phone, and my only means of contacting her while out and about is through the internet (this generally means Facebook messenger). However, I am currently over on my data plan, but I do have unlimited texting and wondered if there is a way (by some program) to send SMS texts to a phone without using mobile data (AIM used to support this but that is no longer the case apparently).

    Does she have unlimited texts on her plan too? Can she text using wifi only? Or you'll have to FB message from the coffee house. Problem Solved. Best luck.
