AWS verification numbers your whole team can use
Use a dedicated, non-VoIP, real-SIM US number to receive AWS verification and security SMS. JoltSMS lets your team see codes in a shared inbox and in Slack, Discord, Email, or Webhooks—without tying AWS to one engineer's personal phone.
- Receive AWS verification SMS in a shared inbox
- Non-VoIP, real-SIM US number for better acceptance than VoIP
- Long-term rental so re-verification and security checks still work
- Team Access plus Slack/Discord/Email/Webhook notifications
Example: verification SMS arriving in a shared JoltSMS inbox.
Why AWS phone verification causes friction for teams
AWS uses phone verification and security codes to protect high-value accounts. If those codes go to a single engineer's personal phone—or to a VoIP number AWS doesn't like—you end up with blocked sign-ins, delays, or frantic "who has the code?" messages.
- •Codes going to one engineer's personal device
- •Difficulty accessing codes during off-hours or hand-offs
- •VoIP or disposable numbers being rejected or simply never receiving SMS
- •Re-verification steps failing because the original number is no longer available
Dedicated real-SIM numbers for AWS accounts
JoltSMS gives you US mobile numbers on real SIM cards, not VoIP ranges. You rent each number long-term, and your team can see the verification SMS in a shared inbox, with notifications to the channels they already use.
- Dedicated non-VoIP, real-SIM US number for your AWS account(s)
- Long-term rental, so you can reuse the same number for future security checks
- Shared inbox, so multiple engineers can see and use codes
- Notifications to Slack/Discord/Email/Webhooks for fast response
Label a number for AWS and see tags, unread counts, and renewal dates.
How teams use JoltSMS with AWS
Primary AWS root or admin account
Keep the verification number owned by the company, not a single engineer's phone. Multiple admins can see SMS codes when root-level actions require them.
Separate numbers for prod vs. non-prod accounts
Use one number for critical production accounts. Use another for dev, staging, or experimental AWS accounts to limit risk.
On-call & SRE workflows
On-call staff see AWS codes in Slack/Discord and the JoltSMS inbox. No more waking up the one person whose phone holds the account.
How to use a JoltSMS number for AWS SMS verification
Rent a dedicated US number in JoltSMS
Start your $50/month plan and get a dedicated non-VoIP, real-SIM US number.
Label it for AWS
In JoltSMS, label the number "AWS Prod", "AWS Root", or similar so everyone knows what it's for.
Configure notifications
Add Slack/Discord/Email/Webhooks so AWS verification SMS are pushed to the right channels (e.g., #aws-admins or #oncall).
Add the number to your AWS account
In AWS account/security settings, add the JoltSMS number where AWS asks for a phone number used for verification or security checks.
Use the inbox to get codes
When AWS sends a code, it appears in the JoltSMS inbox and in your notification channels. Copy the code and complete the AWS prompt.
Keep the number active for future checks
Keep the number active month-to-month so any future verification or security prompts still work with the same number.
Make AWS verification codes visible to the right engineers
AWS codes are time-sensitive. JoltSMS helps you route them to your on-call and admin teams without exposing billing or cancellation controls to everyone.
- Inbox: root/admins and SREs can see codes in one central place
- Slack/Discord notifications: send codes to on-call channels for fast response
- Email: keep leadership or security in the loop for critical changes
- Team Access roles: Owners control billing and cancellations; Managers/Viewers can still read codes and history
Important limitations when using JoltSMS with AWS
JoltSMS cannot guarantee acceptance on AWS or any specific service. AWS defines its own risk and security policies, which may change at any time. Our role is to provide real-SIM, non-VoIP US numbers, long-term rentals, and team-friendly tooling for receiving verification SMS.
Best practices:
- Use JoltSMS numbers only for AWS accounts you are authorized to manage.
- Treat root/admin accounts as critical; consider dedicating a specific number to each.
- Avoid using one number for many unrelated AWS accounts to reduce risk of flags.
- Keep numbers active long-term so re-verification or security checks don't break.
- Make sure only appropriate staff (e.g., Owners/Managers) can change numbers or account settings.
AWS verification FAQ
No. We cannot guarantee acceptance on AWS or any specific service. We provide real-SIM, non-VoIP US numbers, which are often more reliable than VoIP for verification, but AWS ultimately decides which numbers to accept.
Use a dedicated non-VoIP number for AWS verification
Rent a long-term, real-SIM, non-VoIP US number that your team can share for AWS verification codes—backed by a shared inbox, notifications, and Team Access.
