SMS Reminders To Irish Mobiles

Hi,
I'm trying to get the SMS reminder feature working to a mobile phone in Ireland, but no luck so far.
First of all Ireland isn't included in the mobile phone drop down list, so I select other and enter my phone number, I have tried all the following formats, but non seem to work:
0035387xxxxxxx
+35387xxxxxxx
01135387xxxxx
where 353 is the country code for Ireland and 87 the network code.
BTW +35387 does work for google calendar event reminders.
In advance thanks for any help with this.

We can provide reminders if the mobile network provides a free email-to-SMS service -- do you know if your networks provides this? The "Other" option allows you to specify the email address directly (however it won't work with just the phone number, sorry).
An alternative way to receive SMS reminders is to use our Twitter service, which you can set up here. This supports many more mobile providers (even those without email-to-SMS services).
On the Twitter site (under settings), you can set up your mobile to receive messages. Once this is set up, you'll receive reminders on your mobile.
Hope this helps!
