Sending and receiving SMS via Amazon webservices

[reinaldocrespo]

Hello everyone;

I'm looking to send and receive text messages (SMS). The idea is to send medical appointment reminders to patient's mobile device and receive back an appointment confirmation or cancelation via key words that the patient would text back. SMS is NOT WhatsApp.

Amazon has a service called Amazon SNS (Simple notification service) which I think will work for my purposes. They offer an API for this but I think it needs to be built from sources for the specific compiler. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/api/Welcome.html

Has anyone built this SDK from sources? Is anyone sending SMS and receiving replies?

Thank you,


Reinaldo.

I work with

https://www.smstools.be

It's a very professional tool, and the API is easy as far as I see. (Not used so far)

They do work global (also US, i believe your are from there ? )

Hello Marc and thank you for the tip. I will take a look today.

I also got a tip pointing me to Twilio. I will let you know how it goes.
