This is interesting. Can you explain? What leads you to believe that? Do you have any references, or is this your area of expertise?

Cell networks are not my area of expertise, but cybersecurity is, so I am genuinely interested to learn more.

I work directly with telcos. All text messages, calls, etc go through telco systems that are in data centers far from the towers. There is no benefit for one cell phone being geographically close to another to send spam messages.
