is there a way our daughter can still “communicate” on her cell phone during restricted times?

we have a 14 year old daughter that is “addicted” to her cell phone…there has been months where she has made 8,000 text messages…she was texting during school, and even at hours like 2 am…her grades were suffering, and she was losing much sleep…i did put time restrictions on her phone for when she was to be sleeping and when she was in school…i personally would have restricted her cell phone to being able to just call her mother and me and 911, but of course “mommy” wouldn’t allow that…of course our kid has the latest and greatest phones that cost hundreds of dollars…(if it were me i would not allow that, but her mother has to “get the best for her little darling!)…well, with that expensive phone we have to pay 25 bucks a month for her to have “data” so that she can do what ever she wants on the internet…ok, enough background on the situation?…my question is even though i have her talk and texting restricted during certain time periods, is there another way she can get around that with the high tech phone she has now?…on our billing records it shows that she isn’t using any time for her “data” pack…i know she gets on the internet on her phone, and also she emails from her phone as well…how is that not showing up as data usage?…has she found someway to get around our restrictions?…any ideas how she is doing this if she is?…i truly don’t want her failing classes again this year because she can’t keep herself from her phone!…
