Regular charges apply and a contract or prepaid plan is needed.

Do not use this for high frequency notifications. The web-SMS page is rate limited and sending more than 45 SMS/h might get you blocked.

You can send to any number, but your phone number will appear as sender. To enable SMS notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: ```yaml # Example configuration.yaml entry notify: - name: NOTIFIER_NAME platform: yessssms username: YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER password: YOUR_PASSWORD recipient: PHONE_NUMBER_TO_NOTIFY ``` Configuration variables: - **username** (*Required*): This is your login name (usually your phone number). Veryfy that you can use your credentials on the Yesss.at website. - **password** (*Required*): This is the password you use to login to Yesss.at. - **recipient** (*Required*): This is the phone number you want to send the SMS notification to.

Verify that your credentials work on [Yesss.at's website](https://yesss.at). Using the wrong credentials three times in a row will get you blocked for one hour.
