Thanks for sharing.

I was not able to use the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION. I had to use AWS_REGION=us-west-2.

@BizarroDavid
This code was very helpful.

Did you know how to see where it came from?
If it is as it is, it will be displayed as NOTICE

@yuzujoe - You might need to add "AWS.SNS.SMS.SenderID" in MessageAttributes

params := &sns.PublishInput{

		Message:     aws.String(<sms text>),

		PhoneNumber: aws.String(<phone number>),

	MessageAttributes: map[string]*sns.MessageAttributeValue{

		"AWS.SNS.SMS.SenderID": &sns.MessageAttributeValue{StringValue: aws.String(<sender id>), DataType: aws.String("String")},

		"AWS.SNS.SMS.SMSType":  &sns.MessageAttributeValue{StringValue: aws.String("Transactional"), DataType: aws.String("String")},

	},

}

Hi, thanks for sharing this code, help me to get my own solution:

here is the aws-v2 code:

package main
  
  import (
	  "context"
	  "fmt"
	  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws"
	  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
	  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/sns"
  )
  func main() {

	  config, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO()) //Get local credentias ~/.aws/credentials
	  if err != nil {
		  panic("configuration error, " + err.Error())
	  }

	  client := sns.NewFromConfig(config)
  
	  params := &sns.PublishInput{
		  Message: aws.String("Testing..."),
		  PhoneNumber: aws.String("+{yournumber}"),
	  }
	  resp, err := client.Publish(context.TODO(), params)
  
	  if err != nil {
		  // Print the error, cast err to awserr.Error to get the Code and
		  // Message from an error.
		  fmt.Println(err.Error())
		  return
	  }
  
	  // Pretty-print the response data.
	  fmt.Println(resp)
  }
