Yes - but it is not guaranteed any longer to be delivered. At least in
Germany I experienced it more than once that SMS from one provider to
another did not get delivered to the recipient. Since providers don't
earn extra money for SMS any longer, they tend not to care about
interoperability any longer.

 
SMS has never been more important as delivery channel for security
related distribution channels and for businesses. Simply because it is
standardised like email.

Yes - but this is a different use case.

To get SMS delivered in commercial applications (for example for
confirmation codes or transaction numbers etc.) you do not send a
message from one phone to another, but instead you have a messaging
provider like Brevo who gets messages delivered to the mobile phone
providers directly. This avoids interoperability issues. And yes, this
is not for free of course.
