    Over the last few days I've been getting these notification ads similar to pop-up ads on a normal pc except its on my phone. Anyone know how to deal with these?
    I tried sending a STOP text message but that returns that my number is not registered ontheir system.

    Is it an SMS/MMS message, or is it an ad in your browser?

    i think your getting what are called AirPush adverts. It adverts showing up in your notification bar.

    check the link below, you have installed an app that uses these ad notifications. Either uninstall the app in question or try out the blocking tool mentioned in the link below.

    Personally, if a developer feels the need to use this method to get advertising then i will uninstall the game and give it a very poor review on the Market. In game adverts are fine. this is not.
