New Which? research has revealed a startlingly low awareness of the 7726 text service that enables you to report spam texts for free.

 

A whopping 90% of people said they have never heard of this number to report spam text messages to their mobile phone provider.

 

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is now warning of an imminent increase in spam text messages following the changes to pension rules coming into force on 6 April.

 

You can report spam texts directly to your mobile phone provider. All operators now use 7726 - with the exception of Vodafone who uses 87726 - as the short code to report spam texts which is free of charge.

 

Once reported you should get an automated response thanking you for the report and giving you further instructions.
