Note

When you create a new AWS End User Messaging account, your SMS, MMS, and voice channels are placed in a sandbox until you request production access. In the sandbox you have access to all of the features of AWS End User Messaging, with restrictions on the volume and destinations of the messages you can send. For more information about the sandbox and how to move to production, see Move out of the sandbox.
