Free text messaging?

Is there a way to send/receive text messages on my Fascinate using my own cell phone number, without getting charged by Verizon?

I want other people to be able to initiate text conversations with me, without me having to give them a different phone number or app.
 
Your best hope is a google voice number and if you have a month to month with verizon you should also be able to port your number over to it and its free and you can get texts
 
Thanks for the reply, but can you walk me through this process a bit? This is all new to me...

How do I port my Verizon number to my Google Voice number? And is that going to affect my voice calls?

And how does this help me avoid text charges from Verizon?
