My answer will probably generate some controversy, but here it is:
Technically, the answer is NO. The unlimited IN-Network text messaging is only available on the Verizon Wireless digital network, also known as the National Enhanced Services Rate and Coverage Area.

Depends on the carrier. I have visited the Kalamazoo area, which is definitely extended network. The carrier, as far as I can tell, is Alltel or Centurytel.
Not only was I able to send and receive text, I was able to use Mobile Web and Get It Now.
The technical specifications, are beyond me. But I have the impression that Alltel's CDMA network is almost a clone of Verizon's.
But some parts of the extended network are Sprint's PCS network. So you can begin to see how some features and services may flow through one carrier's network but not another.
