Remind yourself with Wakerupper

If you need to remind yourself to do something, and those lists written on the back of napkins just aren't cutting it anymore, you might want to check out Wakerupper, a simple yet completely ingenious site you can use to schedule free reminder calls for anything you might need a little help with. Here's how it works:

• Enter in the time and date you'd like the reminder call to be made.
• Type in your phone number (Wakerupper promises that your number will be kept private).
• Type in a short message to be included in the reminder call; i.e., "take your meds" or "get Aunt Sarah a present".
• Click "schedule my call" (you'll have to accept the terms of service) and you're good to go.

Once you've scheduled the call, Wakerupper will actually call you and remind you of something. The service is free for basic calls; if you want to do regular recurring calls or other services, you can upgrade to a premium account. I can see this being especially useful for those who travel frequently and need to get a wake-up call. What do you think - is Wakerupper something you might be able to use? Give it a try and tell us what you think.
