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

remove mine for this reason.
