Default [Q] Sprint+Google Voice Texting Question

Hey guys. Just did the whole Google Voice deal where my Sprint number becomes my Google number. All I want to use GV for is voicemail, that's it. I can either get 2 texts (GV and my regular text messaging) or texts on my regular messaging app but it would disable all notifications including voicemail (which I want only voicemail to appear).

How do I get rid of the texting feature? I only want to be notified by GV for voicemail and notified by my texting app for my texts.

BTW, I'm running the GV app as well.

unfortunately GV wont let you change the type of phone ( mobile, home, work, etc.). you have to delete your real number then add a new number and set it as a non mobile number. ( use the tab at the bottom right of the GV screen that says upgrade ) you can then choose a new GV number and stop the texts from GV
