Google Calendar alerts for Kuwait back after number change fiasco!

About

Hi, I'm Kaushik. This is my online journal and I call it Katablogism (K+Blog+Catabolism). I spend 18 hours daily, in front of a computer and have gotten pretty good at getting it to do my bidding. I currently work in Kuwait as a Software Engineer and as a freelance webdesigner when time permits. Head on over to my homepage if you want to know more about me. Cheers!

I've mainly categorized my rants into:

Tech: You'll find some useful tips on technology here
Productivity : I'm not anally retentive, just a deligent lifehacker.
Design: My foray into art, webdesign, sketching, scribbling and design in general
Quotes: Inspiration stuff from people that I like to constantly remind myself of.
Links: Other neat resources on the interwebs.
Articles: The more general stuff I like to rant on.

After much desperation,depression and waiting, GCal-SMS alerts is back for Kuwait cellphone users. For those unaware of this feature, sign in to Gcal –> Click Settings (RHS top) –> Click the Mobile Setup tab –> enter your mobile number and wait for the verification message. The rest is self-explanatory (make sure you pick the right country, the ISD code gets prefixed appropriately).
What this gold nugget of a feature does is essentially send you a reminder of any event by way of SMS. I practically lived with this feature up until 3 months back when the wonderful state of Kuwait decided to convert all telephone numbers to 8 digits. Gcal took sometime to reflect these changes. It is now back and I am a marginally more productive man as of today :D. Surprised the Google help group didn’t notify us of this update earlier!
