“It’s time for Apple to fix texting”

I’m also in the UK and received two SMS spam messages last month, which wasn’t particularly out of the ordinary. Both were low effort fishing attempts along the lines of “You have been sent a package that requires the payment of customs fees. Please provide your account information at http://customs.uk.gov.scam.example.xn--horse-sw3b

I probably get more of those now than the “we’ve heard that you’ve been in an auto accident that wasn’t your fault” robocalls.

I'm in Singapore and when I read this I realised that it's been a long time since I received an SMS spam message. It must be at least 2 years. And even then they were quite rare (one ever few months maybe?).

I wonder what different telcos does differently, because I have heard about some countries where you're getting flooder by these things.
