Keeping with the Free Tier while sending SMS notifications

Question

Hi, I am very new to AWS and have SNS connected to pinpoint with an origination number with the goal to send users automated texts through a python script. So I am still on the free tier, however hit my quota for the month while sending under 1,000 requests. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how to stay in the free tier while being able to send SMS text notifications to users within the United States.

Answer

I don't see that SMS messages are available in the Free Tier for Pinpoint.

Hope this helps.
