There are two add-ins, priced at $7.50 each, that will either send your Outlook reminders to you via SMS or email. The SMS application actually just captures the reminder event in Outlook and hands it off to another third party application that will send the message.
I am not sure how it works in Europe, but with my T-Mobile account, I can send an SMS message via email by setting up an email account at My T-Mobile. I already do this to get SMS/MMS messages autoforwarded by rules when I am out. However, my solution doesn't capture reminders.
Desktop requirements are Outlook 2000, 2002 (XP) and 2003 Beta 2. This site is run by Ricardo Silva, an MVP for Microsoft Outlook, and contains lots of advice and add-ins for Outlook.
