Are you forgetting important events?
- Forgot my best friend's birthday!
- Forgot this morning got meeting!
- Forgot Sunday already have an appointment with another friend?
- Don't have an PDA phone to organize my monthly activities?
Well other than keeping my activities updated in my mobile phone, i have a second reminder to make sure i don't forget any of my important appointments/ events. This is not new, but just for the benefit of the rest who does not know.
Google Calender.
- Free SMS to your mobile phone to remind you activities approaching. How sweet!
- Free registration. Enough said, everything is free.
To start, you need to have a GOOGLE account. Simple, just register one for free. Then go to Google Calender..
You will see something like this:
The default option of GOOGLE calender is reminder via email. Of cos we want to GOOGLE to remind us via our mobile phone sms, since its free right. Please note that only Singtel and M1 subscribers are supported. To set using mobile phone SMS, do this:
1) go to SETTINGS. (Top right hand corner near to "SIGN OUT".
2) you will see calender settings, click on MOBILE SETUP tab.
3) Choose SINGAPORE and key in your MOBILE NUMBER (remember put +65 in front!)
4) Then click SEND VERIFICATION CODE. Within 1min, GOOGE will send you an SMS: your google verification code is xxxxxx. Enter the code you received into GOOGLE CALENDER. (see previous picture.)
5) Then click FINISH SET UP and SAVE. Done! That's all! (GOOGLE will sms u to confirm that your device has been verified.)
Do set the reminder as SMS, when you create an activity, remember to set the reminder option to SMS. Alternatively, you can have both EMAIL and SMS reminder. Enjoy!
