Help free txt msging with droids?

is the google voice setup auto when gettin the incredible? (im gettin mine later today) from what i see it fwds the txt you got from your google voice to your phone. so wouldnt you be charged for the txt because a txt was fwded to your phone or what? i am confused lol

No, it's not automatically set up. But you can just use the Google Voice app and voila, free SMS. Don't have it forward it to your phone and no text charge

my buddy has the first droid phone and he showed me his plan on verizon. he gets unlimited txt and doesnt pay anything? i am kinda confused. is there something im missing here? is there a way to get free txt msgs without buying the stupid plan?
its build into his plan
My plan includes unlimited text. Maybe that's the case with him as well. :thinking:
Yea this has to be the case. noone gets texting for free lol

Somewhat related to this, does anyone know of a way to turn your regular text messaging off? I use Google Voice, but about twice a month I get spam texts, costing me $0.20 each, in spite of being on the "no-call" list. $0.40 per month is of course no big deal, but it bothers me that I have no control over it at all and it could become $200 a month.
