Is it possible to use google voice to text and get rid of verizon's text plan? Can it display my verizon number for texting or only the GV #?

One thing to do is to add your google voice number and the access number to your friends and family list. The access number will show up when you make a call on your Droid with the GV app installed and you make the call using GV. It will show for 5-10 seconds as soon as you make the call. I have my GV set to ask me every time how I want to make the call.
Also, keep an eye on the access number as it changes from time to time (no one really knows how long each access number is "good" for).
As far as a reference site, I would suggest simply reading the Google help files. When you see a question mark, click on it. I believe there is a link called help as well. I read those and learned the features, what they do, and how to use them. One example, press 4 during a call to record the call.
As far as I know, all texting that goes to your GV number will appear in the GV app. I'm not sure if you can display your phone number instead of the GV number when calling and texting, but I'm sure the Google help files will tell you. As far as using GV for texting and getting rid of Verizon's text plan, I think you have to have texting to have friends and family. And even then, you have to have a certain number of minutes as well. So, if you got rid of the Verizon text plan, you would not be able to make calls that don't use your minutes.
