The Connexion tip: Tackling unsolicited phone calls and texts
France has a national number – 33700 – to help tackle spam calls, messages and SMS to your mobile.
If you receive a spam SMS you can forward it to this number. You will get a response text asking for the number that the SMS came from. It costs the same as a normal text message.
If you receive an unwanted message, usually asking you to call a premium rate number, you can notify authorities via SMS, again to 33700. This time send the message spamvocal followed by the number that left the message eg. spamvocal 0899123456
