Can different lists have reminders sent to different mobile numbers

jill.mcdevitt says:
Is it possible to make my 'son' reminder list send to his mobile number and my 'husband' list send only to my husband's mobile number?
Thanks!

Sorry, this isn't possible -- your son and husband would need to have separate RTM accounts. Hope this helps.

Obviously, Emily is right, but there is a workaround if you're willing to work at it a bit.

If you have your reminders sent to an email address where you can apply rules to them upon arrival (e.g., Gmail and many others), you can accomplish what you want. If your son has a distinct keyword in every one of his tasks (e.g., FDR), you can then auto-forward just the FDR tasks to his cell number (e.g., 2125551234@carrier.net), whereas your husbands reminders would be keyed to his initials (e.g., LBJ), so that just the LBJ reminder emails were forwarded to his cell phone.

This is not ideal, but it does let you manage multiple reminders out of one account.

[I don't know any way to auto-cross-post this to the Tips forum, but it might be useful over there, too.]
