SMS alerts from Google Calendar

My old mobile had memory of 60 reminders and current has 300. But what if we have no memory restriction? Now onwards Google Calendar will do this for us. Calendar will send you SMS alerts as per events added in it.

How you will start your notification?
1.Go to Google Calendar
2.Go to Settings > Mobile Setup
3.Enter your mobile number and press ‘Send Verification Code’ button
4.You will receive verification code on mobile, enter that number in box there and press ‘Finish setup’
