Just wondering if such an option is possible on a phone that is totally Google-free or is virtually de-Googled?

P.S. messages via pigeons are waaaaaay more secure than SMS. For a fun time, search for something like "examples of SS7 vulnerabilities / attacks" and enjoy reading. That's why 2G, parts of 3G and SMS must die - SS7 is insanely broken (it was created before security was invented as a word)
