Get SMS reminder for your Google Calendar Events..

Hi All,
Very recently I discovered an excellent feature available with Google Calendar.. i.e. you can configure it to send SMS reminders on your phone for all your events. And this feature is also available to its Indian users. So, isn't it a great thing to cheer for :-)

Please follow the steps below to configure the same and you will never have to miss any of your important appointments in case you have no access to internet to check email.

Step 1: Create and setup Google Calendar
If you donot have a google calendar account then you can go to  http://calendar.google.com and create one or login to your account if you have already registered.


Step 2:
Go to Google Calendar settings. Click on Settings –> Calendar settings.

Click on Mobile Setup tab

Step 3:
In the mobile setup page, select your country from the drop down and enter your mobile number. Click on “Send Verification Code” button. Your mobile phone will receive an SMS having the verification code. Enter the code in the box given on the mobile setup page and click on “Finish setup”

Step 4:
Now you can add an SMS reminder by clicking on the event, then click on “Edit event details” and then on  add a reminder by choosing the SMS option from the drop down menu.

That's it. So start adding SMS reminders for your calendar events and never miss anything important :-)

Thank you and Cheers!!!
