I'm setting up an SNS (Simple Notification Service) system and ran into a hiccup while trying to add a phone number to the SMS subscription. I received an error message stating that no origination entities are available to send messages. I understand that this is due to not having an origination number set up, which I need to register with AWS. However, it seems that the verification process could take up to two weeks. Is there a faster way to register a phone number for sending texts, especially for a sandbox environment? Thanks for any help!

The protections in place are there for a reason! AWS has those restrictions to prevent spam from getting out, especially with SMS. In sandbox mode, you'll only be able to send messages to verified numbers anyway, so it might complicate things if you're trying to rush the setup. Just be patient with the registration process; it's there to avoid any misuse.
I get that, but since it’s just for testing in a sandbox, it shouldn’t be too problematic, right?
