To sync with your mobile device

We recommend using Google Calendar to sync with your mobile devices so you always have an online backup in case something happens to your phone.  To set up your Google Calendar, simply follow the To sync with Google Calendar instructions above.

  • Android Devices
    • Most Android devices come with Google Calendar pre-installed.  It's likely that if you have a Google account, your customer service rep helped you set up the Google account on your phone when you purchased the device, and you're already set up!  If not, on your phone, go to 'My Accounts', click 'Add account', select Google, and follow the instructions to create that account.  If the Google Calendar app is already installed on your phone, it will automatically sync.  If you don't have the Google Calendar app, you'll want to ask a representative from your wireless carrier how you can access Google Calendar with your phone.
