How do I set up my Google voice account so I don't get charged for SMS? I do not have any texting plan with VW just 450 min and the ulimited data plan.
Right now it's set up give me notification through email, but I already have a balance of .10 cents. Does that go on my VW bill?
the balance of .10 is not a bill. it's a credit google gives new accounts to use towards international phone calls. google voice does not charge for text messaging. the only charge you could incur is if someone replies to your google voice SMS and their reply gets sent to your phone. to avoid this, go into google voice settings, under your mobile phone, click "edit". you will see a text settings check box that says "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)" make sure this box is NOT checked. this will avoid any text charges. hope this helps.
