Since Verizon is giving free text messages I decided to do text messages. I would like to know if a text can be forwarded to an email address.

Sending to vtext ..
Assuming you send from a pc, you are using internet data to send the msg to an internet address...Aka vtext.com same as sending to Gmail.com
Vtext then sends a text msg to your phone number

Forwarding to an Email address is Sending an EMAIL

EMAIL does use internet data
Email uses an ip. Aka internet address
Texting protocol does not use internet protocols
Text to a phone number from a phone is text via text protocol
Take a text and send it to an Email address via email on the phone is using internet data
If the text forwarding sends the msg from a vtext address to the email
Then it might be treated as text protocol from phone to vtext and not charged
