However, SMS text messaging is not supported in some Amazon Web Services Regions, and SMS text messages cannot be sent to some countries/regions. For more information, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

Usage

lightsail_create_contact_method(protocol, contactEndpoint)

Arguments

protocol

[required] The protocol of the contact method, such as Email or SMS (text messaging).

The SMS protocol is supported only in the following Amazon Web Services Regions.

• US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)

• US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)

• Europe (Ireland) (eu-west-1)

For more information about notifications in Amazon Lightsail, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

contactEndpoint

[required] The destination of the contact method, such as an email address or a mobile phone number.

Use the E.164 format when specifying a mobile phone number. E.164 is a standard for the phone number structure used for international telecommunication. Phone numbers that follow this format can have a maximum of 15 digits, and they are prefixed with the plus character (+) and the country code. For example, a U.S. phone number in E.164 format would be specified as +1XXX5550100. For more information, see E.164 on Wikipedia.
