If you are like many individuals, you have your cell phone with you at all times. Too bad you cannot say the same about your calendar or day planner. Well, what if you could use your cell phone calendar to plan important dates, times and events and set reminders so you never have to miss an appointment again. Many cell phone calendars run years ahead, so if you want to know what day of the week a holiday is on, the information is right at your fingertips. Here are some quick and easy tips for navigating your handy cell phone calendar.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Open your cell phone and go to the "tools" menu. This is accessed by pressing the right and left buttons. It may also be accessed by pushing the button located directly on your screen, depending on the make and model of the cell phone.
Step2
Find the choice that states "calendar". Select, and then press "OK".
Step3
Go to the calendar for the current month. Press the arrow key to move forward to view a future month.
Step4
Press a date on the calendar, using the arrow keys. This will bring up a screen to schedule appointments, reminders and other pertinent information.
Step5
Add an event using your keypad. Include information such as date, time, end date and subject. Use the repeat option for recurring events. Press "save" when you have activated the appropriate alarm settings.
Step6
Repeat for each event, birthday, anniversary, appointment or other memorable dates. You can even use the feature to record events that occur during a specific time of year. Use the "repeat event" for birthdays and other holidays.

Tips & Warnings

  • Consult your manual for directions specific to your cell phone model
  • Use your keypad or keyboard to add information to your calendar
