gogo Beta InFlight Texting for Android
Saw this on Reddit. It doesn't require T-Mobile US and a TMOUS phone to work, and right now is only for Android.

Try out Gogo’s newest app, Gogo Text! This revolutionary app lets you send and receive texts using your own contact list and smartphone. Simply register the app on the ground and bring it onboard your next Gogo equipped flight to text from the cloud tops. This app/service will work with the four major U.S. based wireless carriers.
Does not work Never was able to send one text. My carrier is Republic Wireless. Message just said failed attempt, try again. And to make sure I was on the ground to receive the 1st text. I was on the ground. I really wanted it to work.

Republic's backend is all Sprint. For most instances, the MVNO identifies as the "host" carrier, not the reseller.
I haven't had any issues with texting on gogo with T-Mobile though.
