Simulator phone numbers in AWS End User Messaging SMS

AWS End User Messaging SMS includes an SMS simulator, which you can use to send text messages and receive realistic event records. The SMS simulator is a helpful way to view actual SMS event records. It's also useful for testing applications that use AWS End User Messaging SMS to send SMS messages. Messages sent to these destination phone numbers are designed to stay within AWS End User Messaging SMS, so they 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 county 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.
