Now, many people might think that having to pay RM1 per week - must I add, only - for unlimited amount of status updates/replies to Facebook via Celcom SMS is pure blessing from above. They can get notified of any updates and then reply right away even when they're on the go. I don't.
Anything may happen to whomever on Facebook; when I'm not on my desk I don't want to know. It's not like I won't be back soon to check. Heck, I spent more than 20% of my day in front of a computer, I doubt I'll miss any... non-deliberately. I've been wanting to cancel this 'service' for the longest time since I don't even use it at all. AND I can't remember signing in/registering for such services. All these while I let Celcom deduct RM1 every week from my credit amount with lazy contempt. Until...
So there, last week they cut me twice. RM1 two days in a row. I might sound like a cheapskate but I'd rather have my money channelled into something that I use like for calling or SMS spree. It may be glitched or something but I am set on finding out how to stop it.
As a first step, I Googled it... and after a few tries I finally found out how. Tried it immediately... and it worked! Yay! For those who are pestered with this un-called for service like I do, here's how to disable it:
SendSTOP FBto 32665
A very simple step yet so well kept. From now on, I shall happily enjoy my freedom from Facebook Celcom SMS. They wont be able to bug me anymore X)
26th Jan 2011 an update: Thanks to the prompting from nahrafqifahs and amira (see comments below), there is actually an update on how to disable the Celcom Facebook SMS account. Instead of sending STOP FB, type STOP ALL. Thanks again you both ^^,

now, no need to do the facebook SMS update. some phone do cater specialize program to get update on the phone. i just saw some sony ericson new model phone do that..
i guess its best not to associate web and phone; twitter, fb.. and all the likes.
@Jeff: Ya bah. FB Sms update is redundant since many phones nowadays is wireless equipped.
@True.
Hi thanks for the info. Yea, I agree with deduction of our RM1 weekly. It suppose to be free. Yay
However, the FB sms or Celcom FB or whatever will be useful if you are at the country like China. That's all.
Thank you so much. Been searching for this for a while now. Hate the SMS thingy!
@mumu & cahaya: Your welcome!
Glad to be of help to you both ^^
If ur celcom User

Luckily i found you.. Now, i've settled my problem already..
I would like to ask you permission to copy your thread and paste it in my blog..
Thanks anyway for the info.. Really appreciate it..
Hi thank's for the info... there is some mistake right there, like amira says, it's not STOP FB, but it's STOP ALL then send to 32665, then you will get replied sms with notification your Facebook SMS subscribtion has been deactivated.
thanks!!
finally i found the answer hw to stop it. :)
You're welcome, ppl.
@nahrafqifahs & amira: Thanks for the update. I guess they've changed the setting.
thanks for the info! :)
terima kasih
Hi, good info. I've cancelled mine too. Now I use Pay-Per-Use Fb-Combo update by private operator, no registration charge as it uses fb to register. Just sms when needed with my old nokia. 30sen /sms seems fine. Well, at least it is a free registration and no commitment fee.
Oh ya, the best part, it can update twitter, wordpress and blogspot at one go (1 sms charge) ie 4 in 1 when u register in fb.
wanna try? http://apps.facebook.com/mysmsclub
OH My GOD!!!! THANKS a Lot!!! I've been searching the solution to stop 'the charges' since a month ago...(of course not full time doing it...).. Finally your POST really help me. Thanks again... :)
