Is it true to apply for a credit card by SMS?

Depending on the location where the short message is sent, the bank will also send the card marketing short message, but it still needs to be handled through the formal channels of the bank. Customers who have a card in this bank may be able to add a card by replying to a text message directly, but for new customers, they must go to the bank. The link in the short message must not be clicked. In order to prevent telecom fraud, banks have long stopped attaching links to short messages and have fewer telephones.
