MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / June 2007Outlook should use text messaging for Calendar dates and reminders
Microsoft Outlook has revolutionized the office structure of communication and digital messaging. However, one aspect that seems to be a next step is the use of text messaging to phones or mobile devices which are linked to an Outlook Calendar. To be able to tag a task, date, or event and have a reminder sent to your mobile device would allow reminders to be more versatile. If, for example, I left the office on Friday, and I wanted to get a reminder sent to my phone from my Outlook Calendar that there was a birthday on Sunday, the text messaging feature would be excellent. Most thoughts, tasks, and heavy thinking is done at the office, and with this feature, Outlook would be able to catch up to other applications such as Yahoo Calendar, which uses such a feature for their calendar.

Your response was in 2004. I'm trying to get it to work now, in 2006 -- is it still an add-in that I have to contract with an outside application for?
