Does this mean I'm about to get a lot more spam directly to my phone?

I hope Apple support SMS filtering. Blocking numbers is not enough for me. Maybe we can do it like Gmail spam filter for SMS?

No, there are already plenty of other services to be used to send SMS to your phone.

So adding yet one more with competitive pricing won't do anything?

I thought same thing as the parent when I started reading blog entry. Especially the part where opt-in requirement was removed.

No, lots of alternatives already. And given the more complex AWS Console and documentation compared to alternatives I don't think it will make much difference to whether someone who wants to start spamming your phone will think "ah yes since I can now send SMS with AWS now is the time to start spamming"
