So I know similar questions have been asked, but I feel my situation is a bit unique to everything I've read. So I transferred my old number that everyone knows to Google voice, then I got a new phone with a new number that only has calling and texting. I took the SIM card out of that phone and put it into my android phone, effectively giving me an android that has calling and texting, but no data plan. I set up google voice to recognize my new number and call forward and everything seems to work while I'm on wifi, but I don't seem to receive text messages when I am not on wifi.
Is there a way to tell google voice to send all text messages it receives on my gv number to my carriers text plan with my new number (even if I don't have access to data)? Also can replying to these messages without being near wifi show my gv number instead of my new phones number? I can call Google voice and have it call the number I want to have my old number always show up, but with texting I haven't seemed to find a way yet. Anyone in a similar situation have a good solution?
