Text from the internet,

[styley]

Is there any way to send a text from the internet to your mobile phone. In particular what I was hoping to do was to be able to set up for a text message to be sent at a certain time to act as a reminder. I'd say it's probably a long shot but if anyone knows anything about it I'd appreciate it.

This might sound daft but can you not set up a reminder on the phone itself?

Actually, I use this a lot. However, I'm in Ireland, but i imagine it must be the same in the UK. Log on to your provider's website and check. I know that both O2 and Vodaphone here give each of their customers 250 free web texts per month, and all you have to do is log on. You can set it to send to as many people as you like, and the website has the capability to hold the numbers with names, so that you just click on the recipient each time, rather than searching for their number. And you can set it to send at whatever time you like.

That said, if it's just a reminder to yourself, your phone has a free reminder function too...

I've got a samsung phone and the reminders on it can be easily missed as they only beep for a couple of seconds ya see. Just checked out that o2 thing whickerman and it's just gosh darn perfick for what I was trying to do, cheers.

Try Google Calendar.

I've only tried it once, but I remember it allowing you to receive texts. As a calendar, you could set it up to do that automatically for you every week or whatever.

i usually set up about 5 reminders over the course of 5 mins - set for say, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, so you can't miss it.

you may also be able to reset the tone of the alarm to ascending, where it gets louder and louder and continues for a while. or something you will hear.
it is likely set to a single default beep, so check your tone settings
