Call Reminder App That Rings Like an Alarm When a Callback Is Due
A call reminder app is only useful if you notice it. The Auto Dialer rings each callback like an alarm clock, then lets you dial the person from the reminder itself.
Call reminder app for Android
Most phones can show a reminder notification, and most people have swiped one away while busy. The Auto Dialer handles a callback differently: it rings like an alarm at the exact minute you chose, even when the phone is locked and even if it was switched off and on again since. Setting one takes a single tap on the after-call sheet, where the call disposition is also recorded, with eight preset delays (three short ones measured in minutes, two in hours, then next day, next week and next month) or any date and time you type in. When it fires, the reminder screen offers four actions: call back, view the person's history, add a remark by typing or by voice, or reschedule. For people who make dozens of promises a day, such as sales staff, recruiters and clinic receptionists, that turns "I'll call you at four" into something the phone keeps track of, not the memory.

Call reminder app setup
- Run the guided setup after installing; it requests the alarm and notification permissions that reminders depend on.
- On phones with aggressive battery saving, allow the app to run in the background, so alarms are not delayed.
- Make a test call, pick "5 min" on the after-call sheet, lock the phone and wait for it to ring.
- Optionally, choose a WhatsApp message to attach to future reminders.
Some Android brands need extra battery settings; the guide for Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones walks through them, and the troubleshooting page covers alarms that arrive late. General Android dialing steps are in auto dialing on Android.
Call reminder app for iPhone
Reminders are part of the iPhone app, as are all the other auto dialer features; the single thing it lacks is access to the iPhone's call log. So a callback set on an iPhone works from the lead record and the after-call sheet in the same way, while calls you place with the normal Phone app stay out of the app's history. The full comparison is on auto dialer for iPhone.
Call reminder app example
A worked scenario with round numbers; not a real dealership's figures.
A car salesperson in Leeds talks to 25 people on a Saturday. Six want a test drive "next week", four want a finance quote by Monday, and two ask to be called when a particular colour arrives. On the after-call sheet she sets the four finance callbacks for Monday at 10, the six test-drive calls for Tuesday, and two custom reminders a month out. On Monday at 10 the phone rings like an alarm, she taps "dial all due today", and the four calls run one after another, each showing what the customer said on Saturday.
Call reminder app limits
The Auto Dialer is a calling tool, a CRM dialer rather than a planner, so its reminders are about phone numbers and leads. It is not a shared calendar with meeting invitations, and it will not book rooms or send email invites; use a calendar app for that. An alarm also depends on the phone being powered on. For the sales process the reminders serve, see how to space follow-up calls in sales, and for the records behind each reminder, the telecalling CRM page.
Call reminder app FAQ
11 questions, answered
How to set a reminder to call someone on Android?
In The Auto Dialer, end the call and choose a time on the after-call sheet, such as 1 hour, tomorrow or a custom date. The reminder then rings at that time with a call-back button, and if the moment is wrong you can push it later from the same screen.
Is there a call back reminder app?
Yes. A call back reminder app ties a timed alert to a phone number, so tapping the alert dials that person. The Auto Dialer does this inside a lead CRM, which means the alert also shows what you discussed last time.
Which call reminder app rings even when the phone is locked?
The Auto Dialer’s reminders ring like an alarm at the exact time, on a locked screen and after the phone has been restarted, rather than appearing as a quiet notification that is easy to miss.
Is The Auto Dialer a call reminder app?
Yes, among other things. The Auto Dialer is a call reminder app, an auto dialer and a lead CRM in one, so a reminder is never separate from the person it is about: their remarks, call history and WhatsApp chat are a tap away.
Can a call reminder repeat every month?
Yes. A reminder can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or every chosen number of days, with an end date. That suits monthly payment calls, quarterly service checks or yearly renewals.
How to set a call reminder on Samsung?
Install a dialer that supports timed callbacks, such as The Auto Dialer, finish the guided setup so alarms and notifications are allowed, and exempt the app from battery optimisation. After any call, pick a delay on the after-call sheet, or open a lead and choose a custom date. The reminder then rings at that minute.
How to set a call reminder on iPhone?
The Auto Dialer’s iPhone app sets reminders from a lead or the after-call sheet, with the same call-back, history and reschedule buttons as on Android. The one gap is that calls placed with Apple’s own Phone app do not show up, because iOS keeps its call log from other apps.
What is a missed call reminder app?
It is an app that makes sure an unanswered incoming call gets returned. The Auto Dialer raises a notification for each missed call with a call-back button, a choice of SIM and a WhatsApp shortcut, and it can send an automatic WhatsApp reply to missed callers. If you cannot ring back now, open the lead and set a timed reminder.
Can a call reminder send a WhatsApp message to the customer?
Yes. When a reminder in The Auto Dialer fires, it can send an attached WhatsApp message: a default text, an approved template or your own words. For example, “I will call you in five minutes about your quote”, so the person knows the call is coming.
Can I see all my pending call reminders in one place?
The Reminders tab lists them, with filters for pending, completed, today, tomorrow and other ranges. You can open any reminder from there, and when many are due today, start one auto-dial session that rings each person in turn instead of tapping through them one by one.
What is the difference between a call reminder and a calendar event?
A calendar event is about a time; a call reminder is about a person and a number. When a reminder in The Auto Dialer rings, the dial button, the lead’s notes and the reschedule option sit on one screen. A calendar suits meetings with invitations; a call reminder suits promises made on the phone.
