VueMinder Calendar Help - Text Messaging Settings

Current as of Version 5.3.0

Overview

The Text Messaging tab of the Options Window allows you to specify your text messaging settings. These settings are used by VueMinder Calendar when sending text message reminders. If you don't plan on using text message reminders, then you don't need to specify these settings.

Mobile Carrier

To configure VueMinder Calendar for text messaging, select your mobile carrier from the list. When a carrier is selected, the SMS send-to address for receiving text messages is automatically determined.

If your carrier is not listed, click the "Get Latest" button to download the latest list from VueSoft. If after doing this your carrier is still not listed, please contact us so we can add your carrier. In the meantime, you can select the "Manually Configure" option in the list. This will require you to manually enter your SMS send-to address.

Phone Number

You'll also need to enter your phone number. Depending on the selected mobile carrier, this may be used to determine the send-to address. Some mobile carriers require a username for text messaging instead of a phone number. When this is the case, a "User name" field will be shown where you can enter your user name. This will be used to determine the send-to address.

Text Message Reminder Options

After selecting a mobile carrier and entering your phone number (and possibly user name), the send-to address will automatically update. You can manually change this if it is incorrect. The maximum number of characters in the text message will also be automatically determined based on the selected mobile carrier. If the value is incorrect, you can adjust it. If you find you need to modify either of these fields, please let us know so we can update our information.

Send Test Message

After your enter or modify your text messaging or email settings, it's advised that you send a test message to ensure VueMinder Calendar will be able to correctly send text message reminders.

Click the "Send a Test Message" to initiate the test. If you don't receive a text message after waiting several minutes, double-check both your text messaging and email settings to ensure they are correct.
