Does SharePoint Online not support SMS alerts?

I have a customer requesting us to enable SMS alerts in our SharePoint Online tenant. I did a quick Google search and came across https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/273492-sites-and-collaboration...

According to this article, no, it does not - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Configure-a-SharePoint-site-for-mobile-devices-ddf28727-3bfe-4b56-951d-c97204eac475?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US. "NOTE: If you are using SharePoint Online (as part of Office 365), choose E-mail. The SMS option is not available for Office 365."

AdamHarmetz, is this something that can be removed from the SPO UI please? it's causing some frustration both for admins and users alike.

There are several links/UI pieces like this that have not worked in SharePoint Online for years, by design. I don't understand why these haven't been removed -- SMS options for alerts; audit log reports in a site; etc.
