Pinpoint works with multiple partners and carriers. You can get the list of countries here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/userguide/channel...

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that all of these countries support two-way messaging? It's my impression after signing up and looking at pricing pages that many of these countries only support outbound messaging.

You're totally right. We'll update the list of countries that support 2-way messaging in the docs in the next few days. It's ~50 or so.

Hey, one thing I spent a bit of time trying to find and couldn't was if the numbers would be designated cell phone numbers?

For example, in Thailand all cellphone numbers start with 08/09, in the UK with 07. There are some funny local laws about that. I have quite a few usecases in mind which require the provision of a cell phone number.

One can send SMS to (at least some) landlines in the UK.
