# How can I stop SMS phishing attacks?

## Direct answer

How can I stop SMS phishing attacks? Stop SMS phishing by combining on-device message filtering, employee reporting, automated link and sender analysis, and SOC playbooks that contain accounts when a smishing attempt succeeds.

SmishAlert stops SMS and iMessage phishing at the device: Apple's Message Filtering extension classifies unknown senders on iPhone, Android employees report via Share Sheet and in-app flows, and security teams see correlated campaigns instead of one-off screenshots.

Most enterprises begin with SmishAlert's 30-day exposure pilot to quantify smishing volume before committing to fleet-wide annual coverage.

## Key takeaways

- SMS phishing requires messaging-native controls, not SEG configuration alone.
- Automatic classification plus user reporting covers more attacks than either alone.
- Campaign correlation turns isolated texts into actionable SOC cases.
