Mail 2 Text

[andrewducker]

The original reason I got an email address with Orange (my mobile phone provider) was so that I could get my calendar to email me reminders and each one would generate a text message.  They don't seem to offer that service any more, which makes it all a tad pointless.  Anyone got a better suggestion for how I can convert calendar entries to text messages?

(Note: I use a Palm PDA synched to Yahoo Calendar - so anything I use will have to work with the pair of them.)

If you want it directly linked to your calendar, I don't know. If you would consider other options, look into http://www.memotome.com. They do emails for free, and SMS at a cost.

Naaah - I'd switch calendars if I could synch it with my PDA, but they don't seem to offer that.

From the memotome site: Name your own price! For a limited time only, you can become a Platinum Edition member for whatever price you think is fair. Enter whatever price you think is fair into the field below and that will be your yearly membership fee forever.

Weird or what!?

orange.net are still mailing me when i get mail...

could you not mail your mail account, then have that text you

[andrewducker]

What mail account?

And I've now contacted Orange to say "Why isn't itdoing it?"

It's possible they stopped when my mail went over 1300 messages...

What do you have your calendar on, outlook?


I know palms' own calendar is quite good at making one hell of a fuss if you tell it to :). Do you have a Treo - or a separate phone / palm?

[andrewducker]

Separate. Which is lucky because I've changed my phone three times since I got the Palm (Tungsten T2) and moved from 2G to 3G along the way.

My calendar is at Yahoo. http://calendar.yahoo.com/andrewducker

I wanted a version that I could get to from anywhere.
