Google calendar has great flexibility with reminders, but the defaults are often useless without tweaking the settings. Here are some common notification settings you may want to change to suit your needs better. Change Default Notification Settings Click on the arrow next to the calendar name you want to change settings for and then click on notifications. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...r-settings.png From the next page you can easily delete any of the default notifications for the calendar you chose. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...-reminders.png Likewise you can add more reminders by clicking add a reminder. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...d-reminder.png Now whenever you create a new event for that calendar, only the default reminders will be used. You can still add or remove reminders per appointment, but without changing settings, the appointment will use the default options. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...-reminders.png Add SMS Reminders Another great feature of Google calendar is the ability to have SMS reminders. To get started, open the calendar settings in the top right corner or use the s shortcut key. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...ttings-sms.png Click on the mobile setup tab and enter your country and phone number into the options. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...settings-1.png Click on the send verification code and wait for an SMS message. Once you receive the SMS, enter the verification code and click finish setup. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...s-finished.png You will be redirected to the default notifications settings from before. Although this time you will have the option to add an SMS notification to your new appointments. http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...tification.png To view your calendar appointments via SMS you can text the following commands to GVENT (48368).
