It depends on how you've set it up. If you told gv to send you your sms through the gv app on the phone, it shouldn't be going through verizon, but if you told it to send it to you via your carrier's sms, it will. I'll dig around for the exact settings to change it.

Disable the setting where it forwards every sms message to your account and only use the google voice app. Then your account will not get charged.
Goto Settings
Click on Edit on the phone
UNCHECK "Receive SMS on this phone (mobile phones only)"
and ofcourse only use google voice to send messages.
Alternatively, you can just call up verizon and tell them to turn of txting on your account

Log into Google Voice on your computer. Then click "Settings" and it will list your phone(s). Click "Edit" under your phone, and uncheck the "Receive SMS on this phone"
Then, on your phone, download the Google Voice App. Under it's settings, make sure you have inbox refresh and notifications checked, and you're all set.

You can also get vblock to block all texting to and from your phone. I did this to ensure that I wouldn't get charged extra for any texts.
