A Guide to Sending International SMS with US Toll-Free Numbers and AWS End User Messaging
Messaging & Targeting Blog
AWS End User Messaging now supports sending international SMS messages using US Toll-Free Numbers (TFNs) to over 150 countries, providing businesses with a simplified global messaging solution.
- Enables sending one-way transactional messages like OTPs and shipping notifications globally
- Can be enabled for new or existing US Toll-Free Numbers via console or AWS CLI
- No additional monthly fees for international sending capability
- Two-way SMS only supported in US and Canada
- Delivery is on a "best-effort" basis for international destinations
Ideal for businesses wanting to rapidly prototype and test messaging strategies in new markets without procuring country-specific numbers, but not a complete replacement for dedicated international phone numbers.
