Not true.
GV FORWARDS txt messeges once every 5 min i beleive if you do not have the google voice app installed on the phone.
However if you have google voice app installed, then its almost immediate.
I know because i have used it and its almost instant when a friend standing next to me sends one and me getting it.

So if you do not have the app, and just using the google servers to send it..there may be this 5 min every talks about...but if u have the app, from my own experience its instant.
