when you send an SMS, all of the metadata imaginable is retained by default... as is the content of the message, in many cases.

besides law enforcement and other government agencies, numerous telco employees also have access to this data, and, in many countries at least, some of it is also sold to data brokers.

you can't get much less private than SMS.
