It seems this should not work, but after I subscribed to a data plan for my 2013 Nexus 7 (Android 4.4.4), I was able to receive SMS messages.
It first shows up in the top left status bar, as an envelope icon, with the first part of the message attached, then, if I expand the left drop-down menu and click on it, it brings up the full message, and the whole thing seems to be driven by the "Simple message receiver". Once I click on the "Done" button, it disappears forever.
I did not mod the device in any way (well, I did enable root). I did install Pinger and some other apps to be able to talk and text via Internet (Wifi only so far), but since I got my data plan, I can receive messages without problems (even two-step authorizations from Google — which never went through on the other apps).
So, it seems the SMS capability is still there, and all those fancy workarounds that are being talked about around here are not really needed, or am I missing something?
The device was bought, new and unlocked in the Czech Republic, and is now being used in Canada on a pure data plan on Fido (fido.ca/web/content/monthly/ipad_plans).
