AWS sms-voice documentation change
Summary
Updated guidance for SMS to Turkey: removed requirement for sender ID registration and now recommends removing all URLs from messages to avoid blocking/masking.
Security assessment
Change reflects updated regulatory/compliance requirements for SMS delivery in Turkey. While related to message delivery security (preventing URL masking/blocking), this is a policy update rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability in AWS services.
