You're stuck I guess. When I had a personal cell phone (not a smart phone) I simply blocked all messaging because I was too cheap to pay for a texting plan.
I bought my wife a Droid X a few months ago and I am paying for the required data plan. She loves to text, but I refused to pay extra for texting, so GV was the logical solution to that problem.
