SMSframework Amazon SNS Provider

Amazon SNS Provider for smsframework.

In the Amazon Console, you can specify

Getting started:

1. Create an AWS account, if you don't have one: https://aws.amazon.com/. You will have 100 messages you can send for free. You'll need to give them your debit card, but it's free.

2. Sign in to the AWS Management Console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/sns/v2/home, choose (or search for) "SNS" in the menu at the top.

3. Click "get started"

4. Choose your region (top right, small drop-down).

   Note: some regions do not support SMS messages; choose one that does. You'll know it when you see "Text messaging (SMS)" in the left menu.

   Copy the region identifier from the URL: home?region=eu-west-1#/home -> eu-west-1. You will use it with this library

5. In the left menu, choose "Text messaging (SMS)", go to "Text messaging preferences", and set it up.

   Here, you can specify whether you want low-cost messaging ("promotional"), or reliable delivery ("transactional"). These preferences take effect for every SMS message that you send from your account, but you can override some of them when you send an individual message.

   Also, specify your default SenderID.

6. Click at your login at the top, choose "My Security credentials". Choose "Access keys", click on the "Create new access key" button. These are the credentials you're going to use with this library: Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
