    I'm not sure how viewing them in a different app would result in a charge, is it actually forwarding them to your number? Commented Nov 8, 2012 at 16:59
  • Yes, I think we need more detail on your setup here. Are you using some kind of carrier integration, like the one from Sprint? Are you having Google Voice forward your SMS messages to your phone? Unless your phone and your GV number are the same (which would require carrier integration) they should be completely unrelated to one another. If someone texts your GV number your phone won't receive an actual SMS unless you have forwarding or integration configured, GV will just get the message. Commented Nov 8, 2012 at 18:17
  • I would double check to see if the "Receive text messages on this phone" setting on the voice.google.com website is checked. Commented Nov 9, 2012 at 19:49
  • I've updated the problem description with additional details. Please see above. Commented Nov 14, 2012 at 16:44
