Google Calendar is now presented as the best way to track you daily activities, a Google employee sustaining the product was recently improved with better notification. Although the SMS feature was quite old, Aarati Parmar Martino, Software Engineer, Google Calendar team, presented it as a new update available for all users. "Many people schedule their day on the fly, and are often away from their computers when they need to run to their next event. With Google Calendar, you don't have to be online to be alerted about upcoming events-all you need is a mobile phone. Now you can set up mobile SMS (text message) reminders that will be sent to your mobile phone," the Google employee said.

Now, let me present a simple way to configure the SMS notifications and send messages straight to your mobile phone. The first step is to login to your Google Calendar account and press the Settings button. Click on Notifications and check the SMS box for the Event reminder. At the bottom of the screen, select your country and write your mobile phone number including the country code. Click on the Send Verification Code button and check your mobile device. Google should send you a SMS message containing the verification code that must be entered in the last box of the Settings menu. Click the Finish setup button and then we should proceed to the Events configuration.

Click on the Create Event button and set a new notification for the upcoming events, making Google send you a SMS message before the event takes place. However, do not try to send numerous SMS messages as the search giant might block your account without any warning.
