My iPhone doesn't receive iMessages as texts when Wi-Fi is not available?

I'm always going over my data usage on my iPhone and I'm unable to use Wi-Fi most of the time except for in my dorm room because the Wi-Fi antenna is very weak. The problem is when I turn off my cellular data and there's no Wi-Fi available I'm unable to receive messages from my friends that have an iPhone. I only end up receiving the iMessages hours later when I get Wi-Fi.

How am I able to make my phone receive and send only text messages? I don't want to use iMessage at all. Or if it is possible make my phone receive the iMessages that my friends send to me as texts.

Certain songs in iTunes playlist won't sync?

For a few months now, I'm having a few problems with my iTunes plaits synching with my iPhone 5.

1. Some songs that I purchase through the ITunes Store on my phone, do not show up in the purchased playlist.

2. A lot of the songs in playlists I create will not sync to my phone in the playlist they belong in. For example, I created a Recent playlist, and added over 50 songs and only 25 sync into the folder on my phone, although they all show up on iTunes on my laptop.

I removed all music from my phone and re-added it. I updated iTunes, I reset my phone, I removed all playlists and created new ones and it's still doing it.

What else can I do to fix this other than "buy an Android"?
