What is a good free alternative to pagers?

So, the dilemma is that my friend has no free text and his house is like 3 miles away. he randomly doesn't have his phone so phone is ruled out as a means of communication. I looked up pricing on pagers but they are WAYY too costy (usually around 30 a month) so i was wondering, is there anything thats like text messaging? something like a pager, like those old walkie talkie toys with text messaging, except those were only 2 mile ranges, anything with a bigger range?

and please, no one mention using the phone or a a regular walkie talkie and just talking, that doesnt really work in class or in meetings.
