Google Google Google Google Voice

If you're anything like me then you use everything Google for all your needs. One of Google's great services is Google Voice (formally Grand Central). One of the many benefits (other than ALL your phone calls being FREE and using NO MINUTES AT ALL) is free SMS and Voicemail. These features, like all other Google products, work seamlessly together - Gmail, Gtasks, Voice, gCal, etc.

For a while now I have had an HTC Droid Eris (possibly the best Google Android device, in my opinion) which I love, but I hate getting duel-notifications for Voice SMS and Verizon SMS.

Today, I learned how to fix this.

To disable SMS to your cell phone do the following. Open Google Voice from your internet browser. Go to Settings, Phones, Edit, and uncheck "Receive SMS on this phone"

That's it! It's (apparently) that simple. I have been looking for this setting for EVER.
