The message does say IF you want to use the Facebook security... but it's not an option. Either you pay or you don't get your account back. You have to reply to the SMS to get another code to get access back to Facebook. Without it, you're locked out of your account.
Not sure why Facbook would allow a mobile company to have such powers as to lock non paying users out of their account, especially considering a phone is not being used for mobile access for Facebook.

An SMS message has a sender and a text. The sender is a clear field which can be ANYTHING you want. They could have said "DWB is a stupid fuck: ......"
I bet this is phishing.
I never used Facebook so never heard of how their security question stuff works or what it is... but I bet someone phished your cell number there, sent you a spoofed SMS and now is happily rebilling your phone...
