Google Calendar provides an option to send SMS reminders for all events in your Google Calendar absolutely FREE (unless of course you have a shitty telecom provider that charges for incoming SMS).

Here’s how to get it setup (Follow the links for detailed instructrions from Google Calendar):

A pretty nifty feature, if you want to make sure you never miss an appointment.

For those unaware of this feature, sign in to Gcal –> Click Settings (RHS top) –> Click the Mobile Setup tab –> enter your mobile number and wait for the verification message. The rest is self-explanatory (make sure you pick the right country, the ISD code gets prefixed appropriately). What this gold nugget of a feature does is essentially send you a reminder of any event by way of SMS. I practically lived with this feature up until 3 months back when the wonderful state of Kuwait decided to convert all telephone numbers to 8 digits. Gcal took sometime to reflect these changes. It is now back and I am a marginally more productive man as of today :D. Surprised the Google help group didn’t notify us of this update earlier!
