Supported countries and regions for SMS messaging with AWS End User Messaging SMS

You can use AWS End User Messaging SMS to send SMS messages to the countries, regions, and territories listed in the following table. This table also lists the countries and regions that support Sender IDs and two-way SMS messaging.

If you are unsure of which origination identity will work best for you then see Choosing an origination identity for each origination types advantages and disadvantages. Depending on your use case you can also use General considerations for choosing an origination identity, Choosing an origination identity for one-way messaging use cases and Choosing an origination identity for two-way messaging use cases to help choose the correct origination identity for your use case.

Note

Important: Phone numbers for SMS delivery are provisioned through a single carrier partner in each region/country. This creates a single point of failure if that partner experiences issues. For business-critical messaging, we recommend implementing redundant communication channels such as:

  • WhatsApp, Push notifications, and outbound voice calls via AWS End User Messaging.

  • Email notifications via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).

  • For countries that support both dedicated numbers and sender IDs, you can fallback to one option if the other experiences issues.

  • Using phone pools in End User Messaging Service allows you to quickly add or remove problematic originators from your sending pools, helping maintain message delivery reliability.

This multi-channel approach helps ensure message delivery even if one channel experiences disruption.

For the rules of which sender ID is displayed when you send SMS messages to countries where Sender IDs are supported, compared to those where Sender IDs aren't supported, see Sender ID display name rules.

Before you can use two-way SMS messaging to receive messages, you have to obtain either a dedicated short code or a dedicated long code.

Note

You can purchase long codes for some countries directly through the AWS End User Messaging SMS console. The long codes that you purchase through the console are intended for use with the voice channel. However, if you purchase a long code that is based in the United States (including Puerto Rico) or Canada, you can also use it to send SMS messages.

Notes

  1. Senders are required to use a pre-registered alphabetic Sender ID. To request a Sender ID from Support, How to request a sender ID through Support. Some countries require senders to meet specific requirements or abide by certain restrictions in order to obtain approval. In these cases, Support might contact you for additional information after you submit your Sender ID request.

  2. Senders are required to use a pre-registered template for each type of message that they plan to send. If a sender doesn’t meet this requirement, their messages will be blocked. To register a template, China SMS template registration form. Some countries require senders to meet additional, specific requirements or abide by certain restrictions in order to obtain approval. In these cases, Support might ask you for additional information.

    Note

    In order to send messages to China, you must first register your templates through Support for approval.

  3. Senders are required to use a pre-registered alphabetic Sender ID. Additional registration steps are required. For more information, see India sender ID registration process in AWS End User Messaging SMS.

  4. Long codes in these countries only support inbound messaging. In other words, you can't use these long codes to send messages to your recipients, but you can use them to receive messages from your recipients. These long codes are useful way to allow your recipients to opt-out if you send messages using an alphabetic Sender ID, because Sender IDs only support outbound messages.

  5. AWS End User Messaging SMS can send SMS traffic to Singapore using a sender ID that has been registered on the Singapore SMS Sender ID Registry (SSIR), a registry created by the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore. For more information on requirements to use a Singapore Sender ID, see Singapore sender ID registration process. You can also send SMS traffic in Singapore using an alternative origination identity types such as Short Codes or Long Codes.

    If you do not register your sender ID any message sent using a sender ID will have its ID changed to LIKELY-SCAM per regulatory agency rules. Regulators will filter or block unregistered traffic at their discretion.

  6. Without a dedicated short code, AWS End User Messaging SMS still attempts to send messages to New Zealand recipients using a shared pool of short codes. Due to local carrier restrictions around shared numbers, deliverability over these shared numbers are made on a best-effort basis. Therefore, AWS End User Messaging SMS highly recommends procuring a dedicated short code for all traffic being sent to New Zealand. Messages containing URLs must be allow-listed through the dedicated short code process. For more information on purchasing a short code, see Requesting dedicated short codes.

  7. Sender IDs for the United Kingdom are required to be registered. For more information on registering a sender ID, see United Kingdom sender ID registration.

  8. Registration is required for the sender ID. For more information on completing the registration through the AWS End User Messaging SMS console see Origination identity registration in AWS End User Messaging SMS.

  9. AWS End User Messaging SMS can send SMS traffic to Ireland using a sender ID that has been registered on the ComReg SMS Sender ID Registry. For more information on requirements to use a Ireland sender ID, see Ireland sender ID registration in AWS End User Messaging SMS.

    If you do not register your sender ID, any message sent using a sender ID will have its ID changed to Likely Scam according to regulatory agency rules. Regulators filter or block unregistered traffic at their discretion.

  10. Messages sent from internationally enabled numbers such as toll-free numbers are sent on a best effort basis and may be replaced downstream from AWS to send from a shared phone number or sender ID.
