ok, I'm sure this has been asked, but how does one text to a 5 digit number? Example: text "f" to 32665

You would enter the number as you normally would for a phone number. Since the number isn't 10 digits, the device will see it as a mailbox number. That's how I have people text me while I'm at work, they just sent it to my IM's box number and it pops up in my IM window.

I do not recommend ever sending text messages to short codes. It just leads to expensive subscriptions that provide no products or service.

For the most part, yes, but they're trying to use their Facebook account through texts (I can tell by the code they're wanting to text to). For these "reputable" "companies", it's fine, as there are options to disable or modify your text settings online.
