Build a turn-based game with Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon SNS - UK telephone number problem.

Hi all

I started doing the above lab and have came across an issue and I'm not sure if its me or this is a problem. Of this lab I'm on module 3 which is set up notifications, you need to copy a line of code, edit it to have your own country code and your own telephone number. This is the code -

echo "export PHONE_NUMBER=+15555555555" >> env.sh && source env.sh

I won't include my telephone number but being based in the UK mine looks something like this -

echo "export PHONE_NUMBER=+4407983655512" >> env.sh && source env.sh

I have also tried -

echo "export PHONE_NUMBER=+447983655512" >> env.sh && source env.sh

None of the above worked when you add the next line of code which is to send a message, the interface tells me "sent message successfully" but I haven't received anything. I'm thinking I may need to go back a few steps and change the region to one in the UK but I think that would be a stretch otherwise it wouldn't be asking for the international code.

Hope someone can help

Thanks
