Get Mobile Reminders in Three Easy Steps


GOOGLE CALENDAR CAN syncs your schedule to blackberry smart phones, but it can also send event notifications to even the dumbest cell phone. In fact, setting up SMS alerts is even easier than configuring Google sync.

Here’s how to get started right now.

1. 1. Log in to Google calendar and click settings at the top of the page. Choose the mobile setup tab from the calendar settings and enter your cell phone number in the “phone Number” field. Choose your cellular carrier from the carrier drop-down list, and then click send verification Code. Now wait for a text message from Google Calendar.

2. 2.When you receive the verification Code via SMS on your phone, type it into the “verification code” field in calendar settings, and click finish setup.

3. 3. Create a new event in Google Calendar. Once you have entered the event details, locate the reminder drop-down menu under options and choose SMS. Select how long before the event you would like to be notified (for example 10 mints.) and then save your event as you normally would. You’ll receive the event reminder on your phone at the specified time.
