Lol... That was an interesting choice for a solution but whatever rocks your boat! But just so you know you do not require any us roaming add-ons to receive Public Mobile texts you would only require one to send them. So if you only want texting you can just get a texting add on however it is for SMS text only if you wish to send MMS text you required data unlike your plan here in Canada that only requires data to be enabled on your phone.
As in my thread you can just purchase us roaming data and use a VoIP provider app for your voice calls and to send texts as well as receive them on the phone number you choose with the VoIP app. But you will still receive public mobile text then all you have to do is purchase US roaming data and it covers all your needs as long as you don't mind using a different number to send text and use for voice calls. You will be able to still send MMS texts with your public mobile phone number but they will use mobile data.
Otherwise one of the most affordable options for a US provider would be tello who has plans that start at $5 going up incrementally by $1 with increased minutes and data with $10 giving you unlimited minutes and texts and one gigabyte of data for 30 days and then all the way up to $29 for 30 GB of data. You may want to check them out they also have a referral program mind you I don't know anybody with tello but it can't be that hard to find someone willing to give you a referral code and they also offer promotions.
