Thread: Get your Windows Live Calendar on the go

We’re now mobile! No more worrying that you’ll miss that important dinner with friends or forget your daughter’s soccer game. Now you can access and manage your Windows Live Calendar from any web-enabled mobile phone. You can browse upcoming events and see when you’re free so you can quickly add new events.

  You can also check your schedule by day, week, or month; get previews of event details; set reminders; and add charms like these:



We’ve also made it easy to access on your phone all the calendars you already use. Now, whether you’re on the web, in Outlook, in the Windows Live Mail software, or on your smart phone, you can manage the shared calendar that you use to coordinate your family, see holidays and birthdays, manage your own personal calendar, and access public calendars from the internet. Try out this cool calendar subscription from our friends at Mixin.com, for instance. It lets you access your Facebook events right from within Windows Live Calendar by simply clicking on this link. (Note: The events may take a few hours to show in your calendar). And, if you’ve been bit by the soccer (football) bug, try subscribing to this World Cup calendar. You can keep track of the entire World Cup schedule, and it looks great on your phone, too!



We’re very excited about the depth and ease of use of the new mobile calendar. You can now organize and track the activities and events you care about from anywhere. Give it a try: just go to calendar.live.com from your phone’s internet browser.*
