How to Set a Reminder Call from Your Phone Using ReminderIt

Setting a reminder that calls your phone — rather than sending a silent notification — is simpler than most people expect. ReminderIt was designed to be set up in under two minutes, with no app to download and no technical knowledge required. This guide walks through the process step by step.

Step 1: Go to reminderit.com

Open a browser on your phone, tablet, or computer and go to reminderit.com. You'll see the reminder creation form on the homepage — there's no long onboarding or setup process before you can create your first reminder.

Create a free account or sign in if you've used ReminderIt before. Your reminders are saved to your account so you can manage, edit, and repeat them anytime.

Step 2: Enter the Phone Number to Call

Enter the phone number that should receive the call. This can be your own mobile, a landline, or someone else's number if you're setting up a reminder for a family member or colleague.

ReminderIt supports UK, US, and international numbers. Enter the number in full international format (e.g. +44 for UK, +1 for US) or in the standard local format — the system handles both.

Step 3: Set the Time and Recurrence

Choose the time for the call. For a one-off reminder (an appointment tomorrow, a flight morning), set the specific date and time. For recurring reminders (daily medication, weekly tasks, monthly check-ins), select the recurrence pattern — daily, specific days of the week, weekly, or monthly.

You can also set an end date for the series if you want the reminder to run for a defined period — for example, a 30-day challenge or a course of antibiotics.

Step 4: Write the Spoken Message

Write the message that will be read aloud when the call connects. Keep it short and specific: 'Time to take your morning medication', 'Wake-up call — flight at 06:15, leave by 04:30', 'Book your blood test this week'.

The message is text-to-speech, so write it as you'd say it. Avoid unusual abbreviations. You can test the message sound before saving if you want to confirm how it sounds.

Once saved, the reminder is active. The system will call the number at the scheduled time with no further action required from you.
