Does JotForm have the ability to submit form data to someone's phone as a text message? If so, what plan offers that ability?

There are 2 methods to achieve that.
1. That's possible if your mobile network provider allows it. Simply find your SMS email gateway on the following list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
Then, construct your email address using the following format. You can also find that on the link provided above.
number@serviceProvider.com
Replacing the number with your mobile number. Example for T Mobile:
Format: 10-digit cell phone number @t-mobile.net
Example: 3335551111@t-mobile.net
After this, simply set this email as your form notification email recipient. Guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/41-Finding-out-E-mail-Address-used-for-submission-notifications. So when someone submits the form, the number will receive an SMS message.
2. Through Webhook but this requires API from your SMS Provider and a custom PHP script that would send the message after submission.
You can find an example SMS Notification for Webhook here (See example no. 2) https://www.jotform.com/help/248-Webhook-PHP-Script-Examples
