Yes, that's quite possible indeed. It's highly likely your son is texting that person over iMessage, whatsapp, viber, Skype or any other messaging service over Internet.

By doing so, your carrier is not charging him or you for texting as this is not taking place over their SMS service.

The only way to know who you're son is texting is by asking him or checking his phone, I suppose. (or if you're working for the NSA, you could check into his online data )

Yeah if he's using an app along the lines of Kik, Whatsapp or GroupMe. If you'd like to know who he's texting, just take the phone and look...he's the kid!

It usually takes a while for the most recent calls to show. The same with texts. Give it a while and check it again. Also, it the caller uses a restricted or private number, you won't see it. And your carrier can't either. But if your son has dialed that number, it should show on outgoing.
