Go to Settings/Messages. Turn on iMessage, then log out. Do the same for FaceTime. It's the logging out that's important.

No, they are using it because you authorized that use.

By the way, Apple does not profit from your sms messages.

I already told you what to do.

Go to Settings/Facetime and TURN IT ON so you can see your Apple ID
Tap on your Apple ID and tap SIGN OUT
Facetime should turn off when you do this
Go to Settings/Messages and TURN iMESSAGE OFF if it is on

If you are not logged in the texts will stop. But there will be a couple more as the fact that you have turned it off is sent to the servers. If they continue there is some other app that uses Facetime, iMessage, or some other messaging service that is sending those texts. Of course, if your phone is jailbroken there is probably spyware on it that is sending texts.
