Wakerupper
This is one amazing site. I say that without reservation because it has saved me, more than once, from a long boring, fruitless conversation with my partner and my nemesis, Chatty Cathy, er I mean EB. This is so cool Now when she drones on and on and on pointing out the massive amount of work she does versus the trivial amount I do, I just schedule a call to my phone, tell EB, sorry I have an important call, and free myself from the surly bonds of EB’s not-so-charming clutches.
You can do a lot more with Wakerupper, for example schedule a wake-up call, send your self a reminder, exorcise yourself from a boring date or, as I’ve pointed out, a senseless, unproductive telephone tongue lashing (TTL) and even more. The only limits are the limits of your own mind and imagination.
You will also be glad to know that Wakerupper’s developers are laconic; like their reminder service, and unlike EB’s savage phone calls, they keep it short and sweet. Don’t believe me? Well, read on my doubting friends…
Simple telephone reminders
Use Wakerupper to…
Set a wake-up call at a specific time
Remind yourself of important events
Remember to take medication on time
Escape from a boring date or meeting
Remind child or spouse to do chores
Set reminders for tasks and follow-ups
…and much more!
The basic service is free, the premium services offers more, but we found that the free version works quite well. It works well enough to have saved me 53 minutes of the utter misery of being tongue whipped by EB. Perhaps you’ll have an equally important and meaningful use for Wakerupper too.
You don’t need an account to try it; heck, you do not even need to give them an email address. However, if you are shy about giving them your phone number then you can’t use this service — I mean, think people! How can they send a message to your phone if you don’t give them a phone number?
To our friends in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and other places far and wide, we regret to inform you that Wakerupper only works in the United States and Canada. I works with any phone — mobile, landline, head…headphone, get it? Haha, teasing — but it does work with any phone in the US and Canada.
It’s great, I tells ya!
Just go to www.wakerupper.com and try it for yourself.
Wake up, America and Canada…and Toto too!
Do you know if it will leave a message on an answering machine if you are not home to take the reminder call?
I don’t understand why some of the sites work great for you, I try them and they don’t! This one is crap to put it bluntly. They keep asking you to put in the 2 words, and they only show you one set of numbers! This went on and on, so I tried audio, forget that too. Type in the 2 words you hear, you hear nothing! It doesn’t look like it is free either.
We didn’t test it on your computer, so we cannot tell you what’s wrong with your compute that makes it so you can’t see or use most of the sites we recommend. I’m really big on logic and it is totally illogical to assume a site would be created that most people couldn’t use or see, right? What’s the point? Also we just entered the numbers shown because we didn’t see any words — we figured it was logical, guess we needed to write a paragraph to explain that glitch. The service is free to use, as you would have seen if you had actually read the information on the page. It is not free if you want recurring reminders or more features; that information is on the page too.
It’s sad that many people are too busy trying to find fault with someone’s recommendation or a service or a Web site. It would sure kill most of the pleasure of discovery — at least it would for me. I don’t go looking for things to pick on. I’m not sure why some folks do.
