Different alert levels for different tasks?
arelkin says:
Is there some way to individualize the alert level per task?
Wouldn't it help if "Reminder" (from settings) were the third tab next to "Task" and "Notes" for each task?
Some tasks might low level tasks which need only be alerted once (take package to post office).
Others task/events might need reminders every day, for a week before the task.
And still others might need only several hourly reminders the day of the task.

Related to this, I want to be able to specify reminder channel (email or SMS) by the task. For example I want to get SMS reminders for tasks that have a time of day due, but only want my 3 am global reminder via email (I don't want to be awakened by a 3 am text message every day).
Because of that, I just don't subscribe to SMS, which means I miss my best means of daytime reminders for individual tasks.

This isn't currently possible; reminders are only configured per account.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'd like to second the suggestions above. Really, what I'm looking for are similar options to Google Calendars for reminders on each task.
My ideal setup would be a default daily reminder list email, with additional reminders added on a per task basis as appropriate (with options for SMS, email, etc).
As it is now, I spam myself if I send any more than just the daily task list.
Thanks for listening. -JB

Cue the recording…
In over four years, I can hardly count how many times this natural, entirely reasonable suggestion has been put forward. An incomplete list follows below. While there is a great Gcal workaround (https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/tips/6517/), it's too roundabout to imagine all new RTM users to set that up, and in the meantime the inadequate flexibility in the current reminder system is surely not helping to win any new users over.
Now that the multi-edit UI issues have been addressed here, I think that reminders may very well be the leading open issue in terms of site functionality here at RTM.
It would be great to see Bob turn his attention to this challenge. I think tags and smartlists lay a foundation for reminders that could be extremely powerful for the end user without being that hard to code.

I like how it's "not possible"...
That's the problem, we'd like it to be added as a feature so that it will BECOME possible.
Or at least tell us WHY you think this feature doesn't fit in with your philosophy on RTM.
::sigh:: +1. Thanks for the compilation ranbarton, keep fighting the good fight.
