Overview
Events and tasks can be set up to send an SMS text message reminder.
To enable a text message reminder, check the "Send a text
message reminder"
box in the list of available actions on the
Event Editor or
Task Editor window.
This will allow the text message reminder options to be viewed or
modified as described below.
Note that VueSoft does not charge anything to
send text message reminders. However, depending on your
mobile carrier and the mobile carriers of your recipients,
additional fees from the mobile carriers may apply.
VueSoft is in no way responsible for any of these charges.

Before Event Start / Before Task Due
- You can specify the amount of time before the event or
task that
the text message reminder should be sent.
- The value can be typed in or selected from a drop-down
list. When typing in a value, the number must come
first, followed by a space and then the unit of time (minutes,
hours, days, weeks, or months). Example: "45
minutes".
Send Now and Settings Buttons
- If you'd like to send the text message reminder manually, you can do so with the Send Now button.
- It may take several seconds for the text message to be sent.
A status message will be displayed at the bottom of the
screen showing the transmission status and whether or not it
was successful. If unsuccessful, you could have a
problem with your email or
text messaging settings, which can be quickly accessed using the
Settings button.
- The text message reminder will also be sent automatically at
the specified time before the event or task, regardless of
whether it was sent manually.
Send to...
- You can choose to send the text message to yourself and/or other recipients by checking the appropriate boxes.
- When sending to additional recipients, a list will be
displayed where recipients can be added. You'll need
to know the recipient's mobile carrier or SMS send-to
address.
- As you enter recipient information in the list, this
information will be
added to your contact list for future use. You can
select recipients that are in your contact list either from
the drop-down list in the Name field or by clicking the
 icon
to display the
reminder recipients window. You can also click the "Add
Recipient" and "Remove Recipient" buttons below the list to
add or remove recipients.
