This was only for voice calls not SMS. From a FAQ On Neustar's(SS7 provider) site:
>"5. Does STIR/SHAKEN apply to SMS/text messaging?
Currently STIR/ SHAKEN applies to phone calls only. However, work is on-going in the communications industry to evaluate the best authentication method for SMS / text messaging."[1]
It's unclear as to my why it does not currently cover SMS. Perhaps someone else could shed some light on why this is. SMS certainly uses the same SS7 infrastructure as voice calls.
