AWS sms-voice documentation change

Service: sms-voice · 2026-03-22 · Documentation low

File: sms-voice/latest/userguide/dedicated-number-germany.md

Summary

Updated documentation for Germany short code registration with expanded form requirements, including volume metrics, error handling details, customer service information, and enhanced opt-in method specifications.

Security assessment

Changes focus on enhanced regulatory compliance documentation and carrier approval requirements rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. Added fields like error handling process and opt-in methods improve transparency but don't directly mitigate security flaws. No mention of encryption, authentication, or vulnerability fixes.
