Abstract :With the continuous rise in the number of mobile device users, SMS (Short Message Service) remains a prevalent communication tool accessible on both smartphones and basic phones. Consequently, SMS traffic has experienced a significant surge. This increase has also led to a rise in spam messages, as spammers seek financial or business gains through activities like marketing promotions, lottery scams, and credit card information theft. Consequently, spam classification has become a focal point of research. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of 11 machine learning algorithms for SMS spam detection, including multinomial Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest, among others. Utilizing datasets from UCI and Bangla SMS collections, our experimental results reveal that the multinomial Naïve Bayes algorithm surpasses previous models in spam detection, achieving accuracies of 98.65% and 89.10% in the respective datasets.
