On my new Android phone I setup my Google Voice number and set it as my primary number to use on the phone.

I have had the phone for 3 days and have had my Google Voice acct for over a year with never an issue with it.

This morning, the only change I made to my Android phone was adding
an app from the app store called "Facebook Touch".

About 2 hours later, I learned that EVERY contact on my Google
Voice contact list, which I did a sync with on my phone, got SPAM
with the same SPAM -- It was texted out to everyone..here was the
message --

Dear, I have tried to purchase some products from a business company, I have attracted by high quality products, low price and enthusiastic services, I think if you are free, you can go to see: styleele.com ,picking your interesting... <<followed by a link here>>

Anyone else had this type of issue? I can't imagine that it could not have
come from the phone...maybe from that Facebook Touch app as that application had a lot of SPAM just within the application itself (its not deleletd)...

Any suggestions as to how this might have happened on my phone would be appreciated...
