Which is for the best, since SMS is insecure.
A better example to show that SMS' are insecure are the Signalling system 7 protocols.
While it is possible to incerpte SMS, phone calls and 2FA (kinda scary...) it comes with a high cost (14k) and some technical skills.
However, if you are a vulnerable target, just don't use SMS or any smartphone. Geotracking is also possible !
