# Notify supported countries
<a name="notify-countries"></a>

The countries available for Notify messaging depend on your Notify configuration's tier:
+ **Basic tier** – A curated set of countries optimized for reliability and quality.
+ **Advanced tier** – An expanded list with additional countries. Some Advanced-tier countries may require you to associate your own phone pool with customer-owned origination identities.

Country availability may change over time. Use the `ListNotifyCountries` API or the console to check the current list of supported countries.
