    Question using google voice for texting?

    my dad will get me a droid, but he wants to cut my texting plan down to a really low amount.
    i have a google voice account (i just realized i have it and dont know how it works), so can i use that for my texting? i dont get it.
    can i just send and recieve texts from that number all the time if i get the app for droid and will that take away from my phone's texting plan? does the app have to be open?

    please explain how that works. thanks

    once you have the google voice app installed, I believe if the first time you try and text someone it asks you if you want to send through verizon or google voice. I use my reg number, but google voice for text. Think this makes it free, not sure though.

    Why are you worried. Texting is unlimited with the data plan.

    Actually im pretty sure texting isnt included in data. Could be wrong though.

    yeah texting plan and data plan are different. Unless you meant texting through google voice over data then yes.
