Joking aside, texts don't use wifi at all, they require cell service. They were originally created to take advantage of the extra, unused capacity on cellular network that voice calls didn't need or consume.
That said, I've seen similar problems in some remote corners of the world, where texts fail to send but voice calls work, with some horrible audio quality. My guess is that they're running the network very lean, and there's basically no spare capacity to squeeze the texts into the voice network.
