Unlimited SMS & Google Voice with TextNow for the iPhone

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 – running time 05:19
With so many free texting apps available at the App Store, why has TextNow risen to the top? It's not free and you can't text in groups, but it does have one serious advantage: Google Voice Integration!

Segments

Way back in the fall of '09, we covered Gogii textPlus - a free application for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets users send unlimited free texts, in groups, and internationally. For anyone using a third-party texting app to circumvent or offset AT&T data costs, it's hard to top Gogii. So why has Enflick's TextNow priced at $.99 emerged as the 27th most-purchased app in the App Store? Annie has the low down!

Hey guys I currently have the 200 text message limit plan for AT&T and use textfree but i also have a jailbroken iphone and have the Google Voice app. My question is can I use the SMS app in GV Mobile to send/receive messages using my google voice # or would that still count against my 200 text message limit?
