- Frost1x 3y agoAlmost counterintuitively I deal with more spam SMS than I do email but that’s probably less a factor of actual volume and more a factor of the need and sophistication of filters for both services.
- masklinn 3y agoIt’s likely also a function of the market / location / network incentives. May own anecdote is that I almost never receive spam sms despite having nothing in place beyond whatever my service provider does. Spam mails make it through two+ layers of filters (service provider + my own) more often than I get spam SMS, and I have to trawl the wasteland that is the spam box once in a while to ensure important mails have not been missclassified.
