It's down from the peak, but 40 billion SMSes were sent in the UK in 2021. I would be staggered if this number was majority B2C/2FA.

I would be staggered if it wasn't majority spam, OTPs, and automated reminders.

  • Born & raised in the EU, have had a phone for 25ish years. Have never encountered SMS spam. Most I've had is 3 or 4 cases of SMS phishing attempts (which isn't spam).
