How to Use ReminderIt: Reminder Calls Step by Step

ReminderIt calls your phone at your chosen time, reads your reminder aloud and sends it to WhatsApp. Here's how to set up your first reminder call on WhatsApp in under a minute.

ReminderIt is a phone call reminder service — instead of sending a push notification you might miss, it calls your phone at the time you set and reads your reminder aloud, and sends the same reminder to WhatsApp. Setting up your first reminder takes under a minute and doesn't require downloading an app. Here's exactly how it works.

Step 1: Message ReminderIt on WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp on your phone and message ReminderIt at +1 478-606-1901. That's the whole sign-up — no form, no card, no app to install. Your WhatsApp number is your account, and new users start with a 7-day free trial.

Step 2: Say what you need to remember

Time and date: just say it in plain words — "at 8pm every day", "tomorrow at 7:15am", "every weekday at 9". One-time and recurring reminders (daily, weekdays, weekly, specific days) work the same way. ReminderIt reads your reminder back so you can confirm it before it's set.

Message: say what you want to hear. Be specific: 'Take your Metformin 500mg with a glass of water' is more useful than 'take medication.' It can be a few words or a full sentence. You can also send a voice note, or a photo of a prescription or appointment card, and ReminderIt will turn it into reminders for you to confirm.

Step 3: Receive your call

At the scheduled time, your phone rings with an incoming call from ReminderIt. Answer it and you'll hear a warm, natural voice read your reminder. At the same moment a WhatsApp message arrives with Done and Snooze buttons — tap Done when it's handled, or Snooze if you need a little more time.

If you miss the call, WhatsApp carries the reminder and ReminderIt tries the call once more about five minutes later. To see or change your reminders, message "list", "pause 2" or "cancel 3" — or log in to reminderit.com with WhatsApp or Google for your full history.

What's included in the trial and after

The 7-day free trial includes 10 reminder calls, up to 3 reminders and 1 other person you can remind. After that there's one plan: $7/month, $59/year, or $99 once for 2 years. Every plan includes 70 reminder calls a month, unlimited WhatsApp reminders, reminders for up to 5 people, and all voices and languages.

For most individuals — daily medication reminders, morning wake-up calls, appointment reminders — the trial is enough to know whether a reminder call works for you.
