For the last 2 years I've received 100% of my B2C messages via email or whatsapp, and none via SMS. I keep a phone number as a DID on a voip service, and can receive SMS through it (to email), but the only actual texts I get are personal (and those from the handful of friends who aren't on telegram or whatsapp). I almost never take phone calls, because they're universally spam; I chat to family & workmates on whatsapp, zoom & gmeet. > as an addressing and authentication layer Phone numbers are a horrendous authentication layer. That'll hopefully die sooner than phone numbers for addressing.
