How to report mobile spam SMS messages

Posted By : Shaun McCran

Nobody likes spam communications, especially spam SMS messages. One of the things I was unaware of until recently was that there is a short code that you can forward spam texts on to.

I've had this info through from Vodafone but I've been lead to believe that it is in industry wide use.

Just forward your spam messages to 7726 (this spells out SPAM on your keypad) and your network will deal with them. Forwarding to this number is free, so it won't cost you anything. Everyone complains about spam, now we can collaboratively help reduce it, after all if we don't tell the mobile operators about it how do they know its spam?
