Getting started with AWS End User Messaging SMS - AWS End User Messaging SMS

This topic shows you how to use the AWS End User Messaging SMS console to manage phone numbers, sender IDs, pools, and configuration sets, and then send test SMS messages. We recommend you use simulator phone numbers to test both sending and receiving an SMS message. The workshop is targeted for developers and technical individuals who are comfortable using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to run API commands. For more information about SMS, MMS, or origination identity pricing, see AWS End User Messaging Pricing.

Note

When you set up a new AWS End User Messaging SMS account, it is placed in a sandbox for SMS, MMS, and voice message channels until you request production access. In the sandbox, you can access all of features of AWS End User Messaging SMS, with restrictions on your SMS, MMS, and voice messages.

When you're ready to move from the sandbox to production, create an AWS Support case for a Service limit increase request for each channel that you want to move.
