Mobiles and facebook

love*today — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 03:09:05 GMT

I finally relented and bought a mobile, have set it all up and did not even touch the Facebook link.
Haven't been on fb for ages and no longer have an account.

For the last few days I have been getting text messages from Facebook asking if I know these people, my friends commented on stuff and one even called me by a name that is not mine!

What on earth is the go with that?!
Why is my number being spammed...it is new and the only web page I have visited is this one!

I have no idea, maybe connected with your phone number?

I was startled yesterday to discover that my pm's from facebook show up on my phone as easily as text messages do.

Not only that but my ebay messages do as well!

Facebook accounts aren't actually deleted when you close them.

I discovered facebook messages on my phone today.

Maybe there is a glitch, because it has not happened before

Did you deactivate your FB account LT?

If so, very odd you are getting those nuisance msgs. Esoecially to a new phone number never used on FB.

I have a FB ac that I don't use. I got sick of those people you might know msgs. I got a new email address for FB only, so they can't connect it to anyone else I know through the old email addy.
I was also able to de-select receiving those annoying msgs.

Yep am, ages ago....phone is only a week old and the number is new. So no connections to me on fb at all.

Hard to remember ids replying on iPad.....channys, so it's not only me...it must be some kinda scam. But still my phone is new and only connected with the net with this site.

K yeah I hate mobiles. But seeing as my daughter needed me straight away and I was on the road, showed me that I need it only so my f,amily can reach me if need be.

Az, yeah that is annoying that if I choose to leave a site they still keep all my info and photos.

I have blocked the number that fb(?) used o reach me on the phone. Hope I haven't opened some gateway by reading the text though 😕

It could be that the number you've been allocated used to belong to another who did use the number with a facebook account and now you're getting their junk mail.

Really? Far out!

I didn't think mobile numbers did that. Not impressed if that's the case

Yep, my tablet has a sim and messages used to come to it for some previous owner of the number.

Cheers hawk!

That must be it. Not a google email but I did attach another mail addy to my phone.
Strange though as it is not fb content that is attached to me at all and my email addy isn't receiving the messages.

I don't like BB, it was the strong reasoning as to why I wouldn't own a mobile 😕
