If you're using Google Calendar - the free online calendar that comes with a Google account - you can receive SMS event alerts to your B-Mobile phone. And it's 100% free.
Here's what to do:
Note: Google Calendar SMS reminders only works with B-Mobile phones. Alas, TashiCell subscribers are not supported.
Here's what to do:
- Let Google know what your number is by registering your mobile phone.
- Customize your settings to receive event reminders via SMS.
The reminders are quite flexible. You can request Google to send you an SMS (or an email, by the way) any number of minutes, hours, days or weeks before the event. The default reminders apply to all newly created events, unless you change the reminders for a specific event.
So, from now on, there are no more excuses for being late to those boring meetings! This nifty feature is also helpful for "remembering" important birthdays or anniversaries. And your phone can also double as an alarm clock: Create a repeating daily event with your wake-up time, and then set an SMS alert for 1 minute before that. You'll get a daily SMS just in time for your morning tea. But then again, most phones already have an alarm clock...
