2026/09/30 - AWS Account - 2 new 1 updated api methods
Changes This release adds support for verifying an AWS account's primary contact phone number. SendPhoneNumberVerification sends a one-time code by SMS, VerifyPhoneNumber validates it, and GetContactInformation now returns the verification status.
Verifies the phone number in the primary contact information of an Amazon Web Services account by submitting the one-time passcode that SendPhoneNumberVerification sent to that phone number.
For complete details about how to use the primary contact operations, see Update the primary contact for your Amazon Web Services account.
