Customers that use Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send text messages (SMS) to mobile users can now host their application in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. Using Amazon SNS, customers can send a message directly to a phone number, or can send a message to multiple phone numbers at once by subscribing those phone numbers to a topic and sending messages to the topic. Customers can send SMS text messages directly to mobile phone numbers in more than 200 countries.
With this expansion, Amazon SNS now supports SMS in 9 regions including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and AWS GovCloud (US-Gov-West).
