Help, New android user?

[sango_savino]

Hi,

I'm sorry if I'm just repeating a thread or such. I am very new to the whole android experience. If need be, I will delete this thread as soon as I get an answer to my question. :3

I just purchased a LG Motion 4G, carrier is MetroPCS.
I get absolutely no signal at my house and was wondering if there was any way to text (standard word texts, no pictures or videos) using my wifi?

The old phone I had would text no matter what. I could be on a roaming signal and it would text just fine, and it was provided by Metro as well. I would have thought that a phone more advanced, such as my android, would have no problem doing the same.

So is there a way to send texts through my wifi?

I can't afford to have a plan from providers such as AT&T or Verizon. MetroPCS is a widely used carrier in my area and generally gives no problems.
Like I said, my last phone would text from my house no matter what and I would have thought that this phone would give me no problems as well.
