With this expansion, customers using SNS in these regions can send text messages through AWS End User Messaging to a broad global audience. Amazon SNS remains a versatile pub/sub messaging platform supporting multiple communication endpoints and protocols.

Prior to this update, SMS sending was unavailable in these Asia Pacific regions, so the enhancement significantly improves messaging reach and reliability for global customer engagement and notification use cases. SMS support is currently available in 32 AWS regions.
