<a name="phone-pool-list"></a>

You can use the [describe-pools](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/pinpoint-sms-voice-v2/describe-pools.html) CLI to view information about existing pools.

This operation can provide a complete list of all of the pools in your AWS End User Messaging SMS account, information about a specific pool, or a list of pools that is filtered based on criteria that you define.

**To retrieve a list of all of your pools using the AWS CLI**
+ At the command line, enter the following command:

  ```
  $ aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 describe-pools
  ```

To find information about specific pools, use the `PoolId` parameter.

**To get information about specific pools using the AWS CLI**
+ At the command line, enter the following command:

  ```
  $ aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 describe-pools \ 
  > --pool-id {{poolId}}
  ```

In the preceding command, replace {{poolId}} with the ID or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the pool.

To see a filtered list of pools, use the `Filters` parameter. You can use the following filter values:
+ `status` – The current status of the pool, such as `ACTIVE`.
+ `message-type` – The type of messages that the pool is used to send. Possible values are `TRANSACTIONAL` or `PROMOTIONAL`.
+ `two-way-enabled` – A boolean that indicates whether two-way SMS messaging is enabled for numbers in the pool.
+ `self-managed-opt-outs-enabled` – A boolean that indicates whether self-managed SMS opt-outs are enabled for numbers in the pool.
+ `opt-out-list-name` – The name of the opt-out list associated with the pool.
+ `shared-routes-enabled` – A boolean that indicates whether shared routes are enabled for the pool.
+ `deletion-protection-enabled` – A boolean that indicates whether or not the phone number can be deleted using the `DeletePhoneNumber` operation.

For example, if you want to view a list of pools for transactional messages that support two-way messaging, enter the following command at the command line:

```
$ aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 describe-pools \
> --filters Name=message-type,Values=TRANSACTIONAL \
> --filters Name=two-way-enabled,Values=true
```
