How to stop getting messages from 019832665

[tullcov]

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).
