Oh nevermind. Verizon is disabling Message+ in June 2024. Oh well.

If your US wireless plan is Verizon, there is a way to send and receive SMS messages using only WiFi (aka any eSim providers) for Andriod ( I suppose it works for iOS as well). Verizon has a text app for WiFi connection: Message+. I switched to Message+ to send/receive all my SMS messages even when I'm in the US. It's just as seamless as the regular SMS apps.
