Is there a work around to this?

Texting is so overpriced and ridiculous. I'm thinking about going iphone from an unlimited android plan (no throttling, woo!) but the sheer cost of texting is really annoying me. I heard companies overprice texts around 3000%+. I send/receive around 750 texts a month. I don't need unlimited.

Is there a work around to this?
I know apps like TextNow provide free texting, but having two numbers is inconvenient for my friends.

iMessage.

Moving to a different country. I pay what's equivalent to roughly $20 and have unlimited text, talk and 20GB of data on my cellular plan. That's fairly average pricing in Denmark-

In the UK most plans now include unlimited texts by default, as they know not many people text any more.
