I happen to live in Poland. For some reason I can’t seem to receive reminders via text/sms on the Orange network here. Who knows…anyways, here’s my work around.

I am a heavy Google calendar user so I have the rss feed for my tasks running into a separate google calendar and then I have sms reminders set up. I get a notification for all my calendars, HR included.

Works well…

If you need more on how to set this up…Drop me a note.
