No, not really. The easiest way to send SMS (text) messages to cell phones that I know of is simply to email them tognimsh wrote:I'm just wondering if its possible to send and/or receive text messages with magicjack?

So, if your friend's cell phone number is 212-555-1212, just send email to [email protected], and it will appear on their cell phone as a text message. If they reply to your text, it will be sent to your email.
You can read more about it here.

Well, I have no idea how to send them (other then the above post)...
But I'm pretty sure you can receive them.
Because if you send a text message from your cell phone to a regular land line (don't know about magic jack,
haven't received mine yet),
their phone will ring, read the text message for them and give them the option to reply with a voice message.
... At least that works here in Canada.
Try it out.
