Set Simple Telephone Reminders To Wake You Up, Take Medication, or Get Out of a Bad Date
Schedule wake-up calls that can also get you out of meetings with Wakerupper
One of the best aspects of staying in a hotel is the convenience and certainty of the wake-up call service.
Thanks to Wakerupper, you can now enjoy this luxury in your regular everyday life.
With this free service you can schedule a wake-up call via their website. To do so you just type in your phone number, email address and the date/time you want to be alerted. (You can even write yourself a custom message).
At the appointed time your phone will ring and a computerized female voice will matter-of-factly let you know that it’s time to rise and shine.
The service works as promised. We tested it the morning we wrote this and it roused us from our slumber at 7 a.m. sharp.
And while we’d never encourage subversive behavior the service could also come in handy as a way to get out of a meeting or a bad date (or to remind you to get your wife flowers).
With Wakerupper Premium you can set recurring calls and use their snooze feature, all from your mobile device. (The first ten calls are free; thereafter they’re 5 cents a minute for numbers in the US and Canada).
So rest easy, heavy sleepers (and those who don’t like meetings).
