SMS is expensive in many countries, and the dependency on SMS for OTP delivery to authenticate a transaction is a costly affair, even in India, the cost of Priority SMS has increased. Ironically, sometimes the cost of SMS is more than the cost of transactions. This is, therefore, an opportune time for companies to move away from SMS-based OTP.
