I'll keep tracking it to make sure the silent sms messages have stopped. I think it probably used about $10 worth of airtime in just a month.

I noticed that her speakout account started draining quickly at around the same time.

I finally got in touch with speakout customer support, and they told me that it's because facetime has been sending shortcode sms messages to 49988. Apparently it is because FaceTime uses that to try to get registered.

I'm not an ios user myself. Does anyone know how to stop this? She doesn't use facetime, so I'm ok with either getting her phone to register properly, or to just stop facetime from trying again.

Thanks!
