Solved: Re: How to stop getting messages from 019832665 - Telstra CrowdSupport

I just got a new sim card for my mobile broadband modem and I keep getting messages from number 019832665 with links to facebook pages. I never registered for Facebook SMS messages so why am I getting these messagse and how do I stop them.

It will have been from when someone else previously had that number and set up Facebook SMS notifications.

To stop it, you will need to send the word STOP to that number (using that SIM, otherwise it won't recognise the number).

Never be afraid to back yourself when trying new things, just always make sure you have 3 escape routes if things go wrong.

Checking on the internet, others have had similar experiences.

A.C.M.A. offer the number below to forward such messages to:
