MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-freesms [2]:

Discontinued, defunct self-developed Python library of submitter, with
misleading name and pkgdesc, and no reverse dependencies.

This never provided "free sms" services, only the initiation of "SMS
to self" notification messages using a SIM card with a contract from
for-pay French mobile service provider named "Free Mobile".

The library no longer works, as the provider switched the API from
asking for and accepting a username and password sent in cleartext, to
requiring a user-enabled, auto-generated unique, static API token. The
latter is not supported by this legacy Python module that is out of
development for 3+ years.
