# Simulator phone numbers in AWS End User Messaging SMS
Simulator phone numbers

You can use the SMS simulator that is included with AWS End User Messaging SMS to send text messages and receive realistic event records. The SMS simulator is also useful for:
+ Viewing actual SMS event records.
+ Testing applications that use AWS End User Messaging SMS to send SMS messages.

When using the SMS simulator, messages originate from a origination simulator phone number, and messages are sent to destination simulator phone numbers that you request. The simulator phone numbers are designed to stay within AWS End User Messaging SMS, so that messages are not sent over the carrier network. Origination and destination simulator phone numbers work with SMS and MMS.

## Origination simulator phone numbers


You can request a simulator phone number to use as your origination identity to send test SMS and MMS messages. The simulator phone number will have a country code from the country that you choose. When you use a simulator phone number as the origination identity you can only send messages to the destination simulator phone number from the same country. If you try to send to a different country the message will fail. For example, if you use a simulator phone number from the United States and try to send a message to United Kingdoms success simulator phone number an error is returned. 

**Note**  
AWS End User Messaging SMS currently supports origination simulator phone numbers in the United States.

You can request an origination simulator phone number through the SMS simulator in the AWS End User Messaging SMS console or with the AWS CLI. To request an origination simulator phone number in the AWS CLI follow the directions in [Request a phone number (AWS CLI)](phone-numbers-request.md#request-cli) tab and use `SIMULATOR` for the number type.
