## Description

Do you need to keep track of changes made on your WordPress site? The WP SMS Notifications
plugin can easily alert you of changes made within the WordPress dashboard.

The plugin is useful to not only keep a log of changes as they are made, but to 
also monitor unwanted logins. If an attacker were to successfully log into your 
WordPress dashboard, you will be instantly notified via text message.

Features:

 * Supports both US and international carriers.
 * No need for an external API.
 * Notifications when a post is changed.
 * Notifications when a user logs in.
 * Notifications when a plugin is installed or updated.
 * Notifications when a theme is installed or updated.
 * Fully extensible

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder to /wp-content/plugins.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Visit the new WP SMS menu item to configure your phone number, carrier, and notification
    options.

## FAQ

  How are text messages sent?

All carriers support the ability to send text messages via email. We have simply
tapped into that to send all notifications.
