I want to trust Apple more than a random 3rd party app in general but regardless I don't think you have an option for alternate SMS on iOS. Anyway the problem here, I think, is that you can somehow send an iMessage (not SMS?) via an account that is backed by an email address instead of a phone number. So even if texts/SMS could have an alternate app, iMessage would still be accepting messages from bad accounts.

Oops, I must've been remembering Android. Well, it's one way Apple could fix this unconscionably lasting security hole.
