i thought thats what the case was and i just verified by texting someone from google voice online without telling them who i was and when they replied it was picked up by my phone and then i further replied from my phone this time and they still didnt know it was me due to only seeing my google # which i hadnt made public yet. so i can verify you do not need software for google voice sms. What i dont know is if you can initiate google voice text sms from phone without additional software such as one dialer.
