Can't send or recieve text messages via WiFi

I have a Galaxy S4 and live in a black hole; little or no cell service. If I go outside I might get one bar.  This is not my issue though, as I'm used to this and have a land line.  However, I would like to be able to send and received text messages via WiFi on my phone.  But I get a message that there is no service available, even though I have WiFi enabled and have a good WiFi signal.  How can I get my phone to use WiFi for sending and receiving text messages at home?

Text messages go through the voice cellular network not wifi.

You might want to check out a third party messaging app that uses data either cellular or wifi to send messages.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
