Ever get a text message that appears to be spam, but you don't really know what to do with it? It turns out, most carriers will let you report it by forwarding it to 7726 (SPAM).

We've talked about how to block unwanted text messages before, but this is one small tip we didn't know about until recently. It turns out, many carriers (including the big four US carriers: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile) let you report spam messages by forwarding them to 7726. It won't necessarily stop the messages from coming to you right away, but like reporting spam in Gmail, it'll help them filter those messages for everyone in the future. Thanks for the tip, Josh!
