    Google Voice and SMS

    Whenever I get an SMS on my GV number, I get a notification through Google Voice and also through the default messaging app (as a 406 number). It's a nuance that I'm informed twice of a single SMS. I still need to keep notifications on for the default messaging app because I still receive texting on my non-GV number. Is it possible to have the default messaging app notify me of non-GV texts and Google Voice notify me of GV texts only?

    Better yet, how do I stop getting texts from the 406 number?

    In your GV account settings online, you can set it to not forward text messages to your phone. That way you'll get GV messages only through the GV app.
    Keep in mind messages through the GV app are fetched, not pushed, so you won't get them instantly like a normal message.

    But I won't get calls either on my Droid if I disable forwarding, correct?
