Allow International Users to use service

There might be a good usecase for folks who travel to want to signup. One possible example is if you lend your car while your gone but rack up some fees (noone is home checking the mail) and your license gets suspended.
I've dropped the cloudfront geo restrictions, but twilio still only takes US numbers for now. That and the form validation will need to be reviewed.

There's plenty of reasons the state might suspend someone's license. My dad was once misidentified and his license suspended for an unpaid ticket. No lending of cars or anything in that case. We were fortunate to catch it and point out their error.

Consider building into (or replacing, even) your SMS workflow with something like AWS SNS and SQS using API gateway. There's like 206 countries that are supported. You can deliver payloads via JSON or xml.

I'm the mod you've been talking to over on reddit btw.

Funny enough I was just thinking sqs to ses since i collect emails already. I’d need to change the signup form and handle unsubscribes better but seems worth doing for all customers.

Oh yeah, forgot about SES. Man, I wish you had written this in Python. I'm (very) new to programming and I've been looking for a project :/

@sixsixseven in that case, fun thing about serverless is you can set runtime per function:

an sqs to ses handler is glue stuff that python should handle really well.
If I can't tempt you with that, I suggest taking a look at the @CodeForFtL part of @CodeforSouth, plenty of use for some pep 8 groove.

As a matter of fact, you CAN tempt me with that. I just need a little guidance to configure and test it. I’ve only written my own functional code and not set up testing environments.
