You're probably an email address in their database. It's not necessarily sent by text message. All cellphones (most, anyway) can get text messages by email.

Well, I don't have text messaging paid for on my phone. I get VERY few text messages, so every time they send me one, I get charged...

I wasn't disputing that, just that the message most likely originated through email (at their end.) Chances are good that it wasn't sent like a traditional text message so they don't have to pay for it (but you do.)

Since you don't really use text messaging, can you get your cell provider to just completely disable it on your account?

welcome to the next century. I get calls on all my lines even though all are registered do not call.

The trick is no matter how many questions you ask these ppl don't tell you the company name. It's unprosecutable.
