SMS is an old and dated protocol that we strangely use for security 2FA too. There needs to be an updated protocol, there is one in the works, but the carriers AT&T and it's spawn, are really trying to set it up so they can nickel and dime users.
- acomjean 4y agoI'm starting to get SMS spam.. (my favorite from banks I don't have an account at..) I hate being nickel and dimed, but if this is one case where if sending me a message cost a few cents, and it ends up stopping SMS spam, it might be worth it.. Back when I stated using a phone, we used to have to pay for texts...
