Cell phone spam

My local TV station has an article on their website about spam text messages. According to the article, you can " forward the unwanted text to "SPAM" or 7726. It's free to send texts to that number. It lets your phone company know it is spam. Sometimes it can block or cancel the account, but it can also use that information to filter out spam so someone else doesn't get it."

Has anyone done this? I'm starting to get more and more so will try it, after verifying with AT&T that it is the correct procedure.
