Set Text Message Alerts with iCal
Jake Bechtold | September 8, 2007
With school back in session, you most likely need reminders. I’ve been using iCal for these reminders, but I’d like to take it above an alert on my computer. In iCal, there’s an easy way to have iCal send an email to remind you.
As you know, text message inboxes have email addresses—for instance, 7125550000@vtext.com (for Verizon users). If you add your phone’s email address as an emailing option in your Address Book vCard, you can choose it as an option to email a reminder. Set the date, time and reminder and, Bam—you have a cell phone reminder.
This is a great way to remind your self to get certain things done (like homework). Just remember to keep your Mac on when the email needs to go out!
