SMS reminders synced with your Outlook calendar

If you use Outlook's calendar a lot it's only natural to want to be able to have your cell phone remind you about events, but unless you have a fairly high-end phone, there's not always an easy way to sync your phone's calendar with Outlook's. messagingreminder.com (not the snappiest name, guys) is a cool service that integrates with your Outlook calendar and skips your phone's calendar entirely by sending you SMS reminders about upcoming meetings, etc. The services isn't free—it costs about $15 a year—and certainly isn't the only way to get the job done (Yahoo! Calendar does the same for free, for example), but unlike Outlook plugins that do the same, it works even when your computer isn't turned on.
