I’m using Google Calendar to send me text message notifications of recurring events, which I don’t want to clog up my Airset calendar. Google has built some amazing features into the calendar app, and is giving Airset a run for its money.
While this isn’t a feature I plan to use right now, I found out today that you can txt Google and get a text message back showing you your next appointments:
to receive calendar information, just send a text message containing one of the following commands to the shortcode “48368″ (GVENT):
- Send “next” to get a notification regarding your next scheduled event.
- Send “day” to get a notification containing all of your scheduled events for the present day.
- Send “nday” to get a notification containing all of your events for the following day.
You can do tons more stuff with Google via SMS, though the above GVENT trick isn’t listed. You can even try the various features in their interface, so you’re not paying for actual messages while you try out the service. It’s of course free from Google, but may incur usage charges from your wireless carrier.
