Create reminders by calling in — speak it, we set it
Call the ReminderIt number, say your reminder in natural language, and hang up. We create and schedule it automatically — no typing, no app to open.
The quickest way to capture a reminder is to say it out loud. Call the ReminderIt inbound number, tell us what you need and when, and hang up. We schedule it automatically. When the time comes, we call you back with your reminder. The whole loop — creation to delivery — happens by phone, with no screen required.
How inbound calls work
Call the ReminderIt number from your verified phone. Say your reminder naturally: 'Remind me to take my blood pressure medication at 8 PM every day' or 'One-off reminder — call the plumber tomorrow at 9 AM.' We confirm what we heard and create the reminder. A WhatsApp message confirms the details so you can verify and edit if needed.
When it's most useful
Driving, cooking, exercising, or carrying something heavy — whenever your hands or eyes are busy, calling is faster and safer than typing. Inbound calls are also the most natural interface for people who find typing slow or uncomfortable, including older adults or anyone who thinks faster in speech than in text.
WhatsApp chat as an alternative
If you can't make a call but can type briefly, the WhatsApp chat assistant is a second screen-light option: send 'Remind me at 6 PM to pick up the children' and the assistant creates the reminder without opening the app. Both inbound calls and WhatsApp chat feed into the same reminder system.
Delivery by call with WhatsApp backup
Reminders created by inbound call are delivered the same way as all ReminderIt reminders: a voice call at the scheduled time, followed by a WhatsApp message if the call is missed. Create by voice, receive by voice — a complete phone-first experience.

Frequently asked questions
What number do I call to create a reminder?
Your inbound call number is shown in account settings. Save it as 'ReminderIt' in your contacts so you can call it as quickly as any other contact.
Can I create recurring reminders by calling in?
Yes — say 'every day', 'every weekday', 'every Monday at noon', or 'every three days starting tomorrow' and we'll set the recurring schedule. You can review and adjust it in the app or via WhatsApp after creation.
What if the system mishears my reminder?
A WhatsApp confirmation arrives after every inbound call showing the reminder as created. If any detail is wrong, you can edit it in the ReminderIt app within seconds. The confirmation step makes the voice interface reliable.
Does this work from a landline?
Yes — any phone that can make an outbound call to the ReminderIt number can create reminders. Landlines and feature phones are fully supported.
How is inbound calling different from WhatsApp chat?
Both let you create reminders without opening the app. Inbound calls are completely hands-free and work without any internet connection. WhatsApp chat requires a brief text message but is useful when you can't make a call.
