Two-way SMS messaging in AWS End User Messaging SMS - AWS End User Messaging SMS

AWS End User Messaging SMS includes support for two-way SMS. When you set up two-way SMS, you can receive incoming messages from your customers. You can also use two-way messaging together with other AWS services, such as Lambda and Amazon Lex, to create interactive text messaging experiences.

When one of your customers sends a message to your phone number, the message body is sent to an Amazon SNS topic or Amazon Connect for processing.

Two-way SMS is only available in certain countries and regions. For more information about two-way SMS support by country or region, see SMS and MMS country capabilities and limitations.

Sender IDs do not support two-way SMS messaging.
