I get Face Book notifications on my phone and I find this good rather than
on my computer as it is easy to navigate the taps at the bottom of the
screen. However, what really irritates me is if I put up a photograph I get
information such as Eleanor Burke and 5 others like this and I can never
find on my phone who the five others are. Any ideas please?

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Getting to a Link in an sms message
Thanks for the tip on getting the link to work. While I'm not fully
satisfied with the results of adding a phone number to my account,
sometimes it's good that I get updates on my phone, as I'm not a Facebook
addict like some, and often will be off Facebook for extended periods of
time.A. But knowing how to activate links while in a message is helpful.
Thanks.

Matthew -
I did not indicate that Facebook is trying to sell me something via text
message. I simply said they are spamming me.
When they politely ask you to add a number, they do it under the deceptive
pretense that it's for your own security. The reality is that they want
to inundate you with every status update and photo album post. And they
tell you that it is easy to stop all this. I think one of the first
messages they send is the helpful missive that you can reply with "stop"
and they will cease. This may not work.
While it may be possible to control the verbosity of SMS messages Facebook
choses to spew just because one adds a phone number, I think the process
is deceptive. I have grown tired of trying to find just the right setting
to stop even the emails and have no confidence I will be able to disable
the text messages. So I think the best solution is to simply remove the
mobile number I added under the assumption that it would add some security
to my account.
The reason I warned you about this is that I thought you had not yet found
a way to respond to the confirmation. If you are satisfied with the
results of adding the mobile number, then I'm glad you were able to get it
added.

Hi, Jeff. Thanks for the heads-up. Unlike you, I don't get a lot of
spam; I just get people's goings on such as "so-and-so's at Disneyland".
Do I really care? But I haven't gotten messages trying to sell me
something. At least, I'm not getting those. If I was, I'd nix the phone
thing.--Matthew Chao

that once you add your phone number to Facebook, they may spam you with
more text messages than you bargained for. I'm about to remove mine for
this reason.
