Amazon Simple Notification Service to send SMS in asp.net

I want to send sms to mobile devices using amazon sns in asp.net without creating any topic and subsciption. Can anybody suggest me some helpful material or link. Thanks.

Answer 1

If your goal is simply to send SMS to a mobile number, you may be better off using an api like twilio, you need a topic AND a subscription to use SNS. With twilio you can simply send an SMS to any mobile number you want - there are limits on the quantity you can send within a timeframe, and spamming is prohibited, but assuming that's not your primary goal twilio may be an inexpensive and easy-to-use option for you.

Answer 2

This is now possible with AWS SNS. When you create a PublishRequest you will see a property for PhoneNumber. Just enter the phone number and publish the message as you normally would.

Important thing to note: the phone number has to be in E.164 format. example: +14155552671
