There is still a lot to be improved on in the services out there though. Personally, I friggin hate receiving these SMSes, appointments go into my calendar immediately, I don't need no stinkin reminders. But there's no way to opt out. I'd love to be able to just reply with "NEVER AGAIN" and the system takes care of it. I've spoken to a couple of service providers (in this scenario - people I'm making appointments with) about it and they've said it's automatic, we can't change it yada yada.
The other thing I'd love is to be able to reply and get an appointment changed automatically without having to leave sms and call the service provider. Some of them send an SMS where you have to answer Y/N to 'confirm' the appointment. Surely that can be extended to an automatic SMS appointment making system. "Change time". "New time: 4.30pm Y/N?" "Y" New time set!
