Absolutely. I don't know if it's the FTC or FCC, but the moment I swap back to my American SIM card on trips to the US, I start getting spam texts that I cannot get rid of. Meanwhile I get absolutely zero of these with my European number.
People don't really use SMS in Europe, do they? WhatsApp spam is very pervasive, though.

Europe is very far from being a single entity. Yet, SMS/RCS is popular enough, and in many countries WhatsApp is non-existent.
Actually I am european and use sms a lot. Dont even have WhatsApp installed... :)
Everyone has SMS, they may also have WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or whatever is popular in any given market, but everyone has SMS.
I don't think I get any corporate communication from WhatsApp it is all SMS. For chatting WhatsApp is popular, but companies just send SMS.
