Amazon Connect - Claiming mobile number in Australia..

Hello Steve,

Thank you so much for replying to my query. When I raised the concern with the support team, I received the below response. Would you please be able to let me know if there is any way to receive the number?

****Unfortunately, Amazon Connect does not support mobile numbers in Australia currently. This is for both provisioning (claiming) and porting.

If the service is not listed in the region requirements [1], or price list [2] below, it is not available. You may also see the country coverage guide [3].

Hi Kanika, I don't work for AWS so I can't push this for you. That answer I linked came from somebody who does work for AWS, and was reviewed & approved by somebody else who works for AWS, which I thought was encouraging from your point of view.

The PDF that Amazon Support linked you to in item 3 states:

Porting Available:- Indicates that we are able to port numbers for this country. By default this is limited to DIDs (Geographic, National and in a small number of countries Mobile numbers)

But the document doesn't go on to tell you which countries are in-scope of porting mobile numbers :-(
