SMS Reminders
If you have Google Calendar on your Android smartphone, your
events and reminders can be automatically synced between
desktop and mobile. If you don’t have Google Calendar on your
phone, it is still possible to receive reminders on your mobile.
Step 1
❱ The first thing you need to do is obtain a verification code. This
will show you that your phone and carrier is capable of receiving
SMS reminders from Google Calendar. Click on the gear icon at the
top of the page and select Settings from the menu.
Step 2
❱ Click on the Mobile Setup tab at the top of the settings page.
Select your country from the drop-down list and then enter your
full mobile phone number. You may also need to select your
carrier from the menu that appears.
Step 3
❱ If your carrier is supported, click the Send Verification Code
button and you receive a text message on your phone. Once
you receive this message, enter the code you received in the
Verification code field and click the Finish setup button. Click Save.Improving the Google Calendar
Notifications
Google Calendar offers a variety of notification options
for both email and SMS. When selected, you receive
notifications when somebody sends you invitations,
updates, replies, or cancellation messages to events.
Event organisers however may still choose not to send
these notifications when they create or change events.
If you deselect the notification options in these settings,
you won’t receive the respective notifications, even when
event creators explicitly click to send invitations
or updates.
