Stopping Spam Texts - iphone
Hi,
I am aware for spam texts (coming from a mobile number) I should forward the number to 7726, but does anyone know how to include the number that the text is recevied from when forwarding the text to 7726?
The only way I can see is to select edit - forward text, but I don't think that includes the original number that sent the text. I tried copying the number from the text as well, but I can't seem to do this either?

Forwarding the text is enough to do, the network will sort the rest, I suspect you are on Orange?0 -
I'm on O2. I do forward them, but nothing seems to be done about it...0
