Not really- Short Message Service ("SMS", the "real" name for text
messaging) is a service sent through mobile telephone companies, not the
internet, and is limited to about 160 characters. It can only be sent
to/from mobile phones (unless an SMS-to-email "gateway" is used.
E-mail has no length limitations, and can be sent or received over ANY
internet connection, and doesn't require a mobile phone company for delivery.
