Can AWS SNS be used to sent voice messages to landline? - amazon-web-services

We were using Amazon SNS to send SMS to our end-user. But now, we also need to sent our end users voice messages over landline.
Is it something feasible with Amazon SNS?

As far as i know, we are unable to send voice message through AWS SNS.
But you might be interested in Amazon pinpoint which allows you to send voice messages through that api, check here for pricing and to get started

Amazon SES using Message Id

Im using AWS Lambda for sending emails by Amazon SES.
Each time that the request send_email succeeds I got the message id like confirmation.
But now, I want to use somehow this messageId. For example to know if this message concretelly get delivered or bounced.
CloudWatch offers me metrics, with the number of delivered or bounced messages but I want to look throught each one.
¿Is there any statement that allows to know the state of a message by id?
Due to the asynchronous nature of SMTP and how mails are being routed, you can't have this information immediately when sending an e-mail (via SES or otherwise).
However, AWS provides a feedback system which notifies an SNS topic when a message is delivered, bounced, or a complaint was received.
While the documentation is very detailed, the general idea is that you subscribe your own lambda(s) to the configured SNS topic(s) and you can then handle these events as you see fit (i.e. persist data on DynamoDB, call your unsubscribe API and so on).

How do i send the SMS message using Amazon SNS

I can't able to send the Text messages using Amazon Simple Notification Services(SNS). I have tried with API and Amazon Console. Both are not working. Please help me to solve the issues.
I am using Amazon Free plan account.
Amazon Sns support two diffrent type of messages
Promotions message
Transaction message
If your mobile register do not disturb or many service provider not allowed promotions messages like Verizon
Map<String, MessageAttributeValue> smsAttributes =
new HashMap<String,MessageAttributeValue>();
smsAttributes.put("AWS.SNS.SMS.SMSType",new
MessageAttributeValue().withStringValue("Transactional").withDataType("String"))
To discover why an SMS message was not sent, you can enable logging in CloudWatch Logs.
From Viewing Amazon CloudWatch metrics and logs for SMS deliveries - Amazon Simple Notification Service:
You can collect information about successful and unsuccessful SMS message deliveries by enabling Amazon SNS to write to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. For each SMS message that you send, Amazon SNS will write a log that includes the message price, the success or failure status, the reason for failure (if the message failed), the message dwell time, and other information.
I did this recently to discover why my SMS was not successful. The message said that my carrier refused the message. I discovered that this was because I was using a Custom Sender ID. Once I removed that setting, I could successfully send SMS messages.

Can we save client SMS responses in AWS Pinpoint's 2-way SMS?

I know that Amazon Pinpoint enables 2-way SMS, but I was wondering whether it was possible to save the message that the client sends. I'm finding myself going down the AWS rabbit-hole a bit, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to what AWS services could hold onto response data.
Just to clarify, I understand that Pinpoint allows us to return automated messages when the client passes a keyword. I am also aware that we can create user segments to save user attributes, I am moreso inquiring whether there is a way to stream user responses (that are not keywords) to another service or topic. Thank you!
An overview of Amazon Pinpoint two-way messaging can be summarized as per the above sample architecture.
You can capture the incoming messages from your users using the SNS topic you would have created when activating Pinpoint two-way messaging i.e When your users reply to your SMS message using the long code number, Amazon Pinpoint sends a JSON payload to the Amazon SNS topic that you designated. As a developer you handle these incoming messages by adding subscriptions to this SNS topic. The supported subscriptions include SQS, Lambda, email, HTTPS endpoint or SMS.
A sample JSON payload that your SNS topic subscriptions would receive would resemble the following :
{
"originationNumber":"+27155550000",
"destinationNumber":"+2722255511111",
"messageKeyword":"START",
"messageBody":"Hello World from Amazon Pinpoint",
"inboundMessageId":"cae173d2-66b9-564c-8309-66b9",
"previousPublishedMessageId":"wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
}
Hope this Helps!

How to respond to SMS from AWS SNS

When I receive an SMS from a friend's mobile phone, I can respond to it (as you would expect). When I receive an SMS from my application, via AWS SNS, I can not respond. Why is that? And can I configure a response phone number?
There is no in-bound SMS capability with Amazon Simple Notification Service. It is only for outbound messaging.
However, Amazon Pinpoint can respond to SMS messages, typically as part of a marketing campaign.

SES: API to get delivery status of mails as json response

I want to get the delivery status of the mails sent through Amazon SES by hitting an API and saving the response in my database. I know of Amazon SNS and sending notification through email, but could not find a solution for this. Is there a solution to this?
There is no polling mechanism in SES for delivery status.
The SNS delivery/status notifications that SES provides, which you have indicated you are familiar with, is the standard mechanism for this.
Enable these and then subscribe an SQS queue, or a Lambda function, or even an HTTPS endpoint from your app, to the designated SNS topic. It should be relatively simple using any of these mechanisms to code a solution to store the reports in the database as they are provided to you by SES.
