Google voice and sprint integration

I just switched to sprint after using Google voice with att, and I quickly realized I was using anytime minutes even when calling mobile numbers due to the fact that Google voice numbers are considered landlines.

So I did sprint integration with my Google number, which is option 2 if anyone is familiar with it. So I still use my Google voice number that I've had for a long time. My question is, will calling mobile numbers correctly use my mobile to mobile minutes now?
 
If I understand Google Voice correctly, you must use your Sprint number in order to correctly use mobile-to-mobile minutes. However, calling is unlimited on Sprint. When you call landlines is when your minutes are spent.

This is how I understood it as well from my research, but in my very short testing, it appears using the google number with integration does work properly with mobile to mobile minutes. My testing just involved using a short 3-4 minute call to my girlfriend and looking at my usage, which showed mobile-mobile minutes going up, and anytime staying the same. So I think I am good, but I suppose I'll just keep an eye on it.
 
I also use Option 2 (My Google Voice number is the one that people see, but my real Sprint number still exists, and remains the billing number on my Sprint account). Since setting it up over two years ago, my calls have been charged against my mobile-to-mobile allowance. I have very few calls that go toward my regular minutes, and I think those are mostly 800 numbers.

Edit: I just looked at my latest bill. Of the 247 minutes I used, every one of them was on the M2M allowance. None of my 450 minutes were touched, and there were 800 numbers on the call history.

Thanks for verification.
