‘SenderID’ issues sending SMS on Amazon SNS (Official PHP SDK)

Question 1

For some reason the SenderID seems to revert to NOTICE – see here when I set the SenderID in the code.

When I leave the SenderID variable out, it sends as the default set – this is good, but we will be occasionally changing the name for different uses.

I am using the Official PHP SDK, with the code below:

$aws_cred = array(
    'credentials' => array(
        'key' => 'GOT THE KEY',
        'secret' => 'GOT THE SECRET',
    ),
    'region' => 'eu-west-1', // < your aws from SNS Topic region
    'version' => 'latest'
    );
    $sns = new \Aws\Sns\SnsClient($aws_cred);

    $args = array(
    "SenderID" => "MySendID",
    "SMSType" => "Promotional",
    "Message" => "Amazon y u do dis??",
    "PhoneNumber" => "+number"
    );

    $result = $sns->publish($args);

'secret' => 'GOT THE SECRET',

),

'region' => 'eu-west-1', // < your aws from SNS Topic region

'version' => 'latest'

);

$sns = new \Aws\Sns\SnsClient($aws_cred);

$args = array(

"SenderID" => "MySendID",

"SMSType" => "Promotional",

"Message" => "Amazon y u do dis??",

"PhoneNumber" => "+number"

);

$result = $sns->publish($args);

I am sending to the UK (so SID works there), and also it is within the 11 character limit.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Cheers

Question 2

I have found the answer.

The search system didn’t materialise this originally, but finally, I have found it.

I found the solution. Set the args this way. It works!

Default

$args = array( 'MessageAttributes' => [ 'AWS.SNS.SMS.SenderID' => [ 'DataType' => 'String', 'StringValue' => 'YourSenderName' ] ], "SMSType" => "Transactional", "PhoneNumber" => "+87654321", "Message" => "Hello World!" );
