Moving from the Amazon Pinpoint SMS sandbox to production

Important

Amazon Pinpoint has updated their user guide documentation. This page may no longer have the most up-to-date information. To get the latest information regarding how to create, configure, and manage your Amazon Pinpoint SMS and voice resources, see the new Amazon Pinpoint SMS user guide.

After fully testing your SMS environment in the SMS sandbox, you can choose to move to production. To do so, create an AWS Support case for a Service limit increase request.

Alternatively, you can request production access from the sandbox environment. To do so, choose Request production access under Account tier on the SMS and voice page.

Note

If your account is in multiple regions, you must submit a support request for each region.
