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 install and no technical knowledge required. You do it all in a WhatsApp chat. This guide walks through the process step by step.

Step 1: Message ReminderIt on WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp on your phone and message ReminderIt at +1 478-606-1901 (or tap that link). There's no sign-up form, no card and no long onboarding — your 7-day free trial starts with your first message.

Your reminders are saved to your account, so you can list, change, pause or repeat them anytime from the same chat. If you like a screen view, you can also log in at reminderit.com with WhatsApp or Google.

Step 2: Choose Who the Call Is For

By default the call goes to you — the number you're messaging from — so there's nothing to type in. ReminderIt works in most countries worldwide.

If the reminder is for a family member, you can add them as one of the people you remind (up to 5 on a paid plan). They accept once, and then your reminders for them reach their phone.

Step 3: Set the Time and Recurrence

Say the time in plain words. For a one-off reminder (an appointment tomorrow, a flight morning), give the date and time: 'Tomorrow at 7:30am.' For recurring reminders (daily medication, weekly tasks, monthly check-ins), say the pattern — 'every day at 8pm', 'weekdays at 9am', 'every Monday', 'on the 1st of each month'.

You can also give the series an end date 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

Tell ReminderIt what the call should say. 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 read aloud in a warm, natural voice, so write it as you'd say it and avoid unusual abbreviations. ReminderIt reads back what it scheduled so you can catch any mistakes.

Once confirmed, the reminder is active. At the scheduled time your phone rings and a WhatsApp message arrives with Done and Snooze buttons. If you miss the call, ReminderIt tries once more about five minutes later.
