How do I use reminders?

Let Rogers Yahoo! Calendar notify you when an event is coming up. Set a reminder!

On the Add or Edit Event page, choose WHEN and HOW you'd like to be reminded -- twice, if you want! Yep, you can set two separate reminders to get your attention anywhere from 5 minutes to 14 days before the event.

Send reminders to an email address of your choice, your mobile device, or Rogers Yahoo! Messenger.

Email Reminders
In the Reminders area:

  • Select "Send Reminders".
  • Check the box beside "Email", and from the pull-down menu, select the email address at which you'd like to get your reminders.
  • Click Save. That's it!

Mobile Device Reminders
Make sure you've registered your device with Yahoo! Mobile.

  • Once that's done, all you need to do is check the box beside "Mobile"! :o)

Rogers Yahoo! Messenger Reminders
First, make sure you have the latest Windows version of Yahoo! Messenger.

  • Caution: you WON’T be able to get Calendar reminders via Rogers Yahoo! Messenger for the Web (the no-download version of Rogers Yahoo! Messenger).
  • Make sure you use the same Yahoo! ID to sign in to both Rogers Yahoo! Calendar and Rogers Yahoo! Messenger.
  • And this is important: make sure you’re logged in to Yahoo! Messenger at the time you've set to receive the reminder(!).
A reminder appears as a small Rogers Yahoo! Messenger pop-up window. To change when you receive your reminder, or to turn it on or off, click the event in your Rogers Yahoo! Calendar and scroll down to the Reminders section.


Note: If you use one type of reminder frequently, go to the Reminder Options page and make it your default reminder.
