Spam messages promoting free calls
I have received 2 messages from an 07850 number and one from an 07715 promoting various free calls. All have UK contact 020 8775 xxxx numbers.
All resemble UK numbers and should be blocked by TPS registration but aren't. I could of course report them to the toothless TPS but think that's a waste of time.
I would like to report them as spam to Three but don't know how to do this on my Moto G. On another phone, I simply forwarded the messages to 7726 (SPAM) at Orange. Can anybody please advise how to do this.
Thanks.

Forwarding SPAM messages to 7726 is not a specific Orange thing, so continue to use it.
Text message aren't a TPS thing, you want either phonepayplus or The Office of the Information Commissioner depending on whether the message were premium rate or not.0 -
Thanks, Techhead.
My problem is that I don't know how to forward a text on my Moto G. If I contact the organisations you mention (not premium texts so far as I can tell), any idea how I can do that?
Thanks.0
