I found that an international SMS containing the entire text for a Wells Fargo SMS 2-factor code from the US to the UK doesn't deliver. Found that interesting.

I could get it to deliver US to US, though.

A lot of shortcode systems fall apart outside of their home system.

These are common problems for those that try to go “data-only” and sign up for a virtual SMS service: they can’t receive 2FA SMSs.

I guess the positive is that it’s hard(er) for a bad actor to pretend to be bigger than they are.
