How to change the default SMS on the Sprint network Android 4.1.2

Morning everyone.
I am running into an issue with trying to use Google's messenger app. I am trying to use it as my default SMS, yet the one that comes on my LG Optimus G under the Sprint network will not allow me to select it as the default SMS app. In the process of trying to use Google messenger, I am now getting text's from 9016 that from what I can tell is the Visual Voicemail Notification (which I do not want) and I am constantly getting notifications on. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Use an app like Default App Manager Lite to change the default SMS app.

Thanks, I am giving it a try now. I also switched back to Textra since I wasn't getting the 9016 issue while using it.
