In a previous “Pogue’s Basics” tip, I let you know that you could report cellphone text-message spam by forwarding it to 7726.
“Well, great,” one reader wrote, “but how do you forward a text message!?”
Ah. I guess that might have been helpful information!
- On the iPhone, hold your finger down on the actual text message that you want to pass along. When the More button appears, tap it, then tap the curly Forward arrow.
- On Android, hold your finger down on the actual text message, and then tap Forward.
In each case, you’re now asked for the phone number you want to forward to.
Boom: The deed is done.
