This wikiHow teaches you how to report spam text messages by forwarding them to shortcode 7726 (which spells out "SPAM" on most keypads). Spam text messages are not only a nuisance, they are illegal and can even contain links that can be dangerous. Many spam messages are an attempt to obtain your personal information or spread malware that can infect your phone. Never reply to spam messages or tap on any of the links in the message and always report spam text messages immediately.
