But point is poeple will have to call your Google voice number (not your cell number) and then in GV you set up your Cell number as the forwarding number.

In that case when anybody call your GV number, your cell phone will also ring. You can setup multiple phones as forwareded numbers - like have both Cell phone and Home phone ring when you are at home and have only Cell phone ring on Weekdays when you are away from home .. and so on.

I sthis what you asked for ?
No. this isn't what I'm asking for.

I already have my house, cell and tablet tied together with Google Voice.

The thing is, I'm rarely online.

I currently have dial-up at home, and since that's an analog signal, it can't be used with a wireless router.

One of my friends accidentally sent a text message to my house phone instead of my Google Voice number a couple of times where a computer spoke what she typed.

I'm looking for something just like that, where my cell phone rings but a text isn't sent to it so to save on constantly paying out money on prepaid cell phone cards.

I don't bother ever reading the messages on my cell phone so I don't quite get why I still have to pay for each of them.

I'm just looking for a creative workaround so that I can be notified when receiving a text without being online.

Hope that straightens out the request on this.
