they said they are working on it. so eventually it will come.

Rob - visual voicemail from sprint doesn't work correctly on NS4G

My setup with GV Lite actually works pretty good and quality of voicemails is much better than Sprint's

So whats the verdict? Does this work, or does it break it?

No idea how I set it up, it acted weird at first, but...

1) I don't get txt notifications for vm - turned it off in settings
2) my VM greeting was recorded via google voice website and phone
3) I turned on sync w/inbox
4) When someone leaves voicemail, I get a notification in the status bar via gmail, and I can go into google voice and read via visual VM or listen to my messages.
5) my texting is still done via stock android messanger, both in and out... no duplicate problems or otherwise.

everything is working the way I want it too for now (I think).

This is basically a misunderstanding and backwards from the features/purpose. GV with Sprint integration is working as intended.

If you use GV with Sprint then you use and get the feature of text and VM in one Android app. So if you do not want duel text messages you have to uncheck the Sprint Web GV settings/options:

"Sprint Mobile Phone" "Receive text messages on this phone" "Notify me of new voicemails via text" (This does not disable/deactivate GV+Sprint)

Now if you want to use your own SMS app and NOT the Sprint+GV then you should sign up with GV Lite or a separate not integrate new GV number. Which you can register you GV number and use the app and get normal SMS and use the GV app without duplicate TXT.

Hope that helps...
