google calendar notifications

I am trying to set up sms notifications for a shared gmail account. My wife and I both subscribe to a calendar on this account. I am trying to set it up so that we both get sms notifications about appointments but it doesn't seem to work for both of us. We have 3 gmail accounts, mine, hers and an additional account for "other" appointments. Any help would be appreciated. John Wilson

Hi John, Are you also expecting this to be shared on your mobile phones? You can always set reminders or alarms and a notification will pop up. I work for Telstra, and I use Google calendar to remind me of my scheduled start time every Monday (shift worker). I also recommend it to businesses which have staff in the field with Smart Phones (Android) or almost-smart phones equipped with Google apps. An appointment taken in the office can be synched with a service person in the field using Google Calendar, and if care is taken to add the address in the correct field, then the field worker can get navigation to the address of the appointment. Much more effective than an SMS. Use the force, Luke. Andrew Greig
