How It Works
Three steps to a free wake-up call
Sign up free
Create an account with Google, add your phone number, and pick your wake-up time. Takes about a minute.
Your phone rings
At your scheduled time, you get a real phone call with an AI-spoken morning briefing — local weather and top news headlines.
Press 1 to confirm
Confirm you're actually awake. If you don't answer, we call back. There's no snooze button to swipe away half-asleep.
Free Options
Every way to get a free wake-up call, honestly compared
There are a few genuine ways to get woken up by a phone call without paying. Here's what each one actually gets you.
Reveille's free plan
Three calls per week, free forever, with an AI-spoken briefing of your weather and the news, plus a retry if you sleep through the first ring. The trade-off: it's not every day unless you upgrade.
Hotel front desk
Reliable and genuinely free — if you're staying in a hotel. Not much use the other 350 nights of the year, and it's a human reading a clock, not a briefing.
Asking a friend
Free and personal, but it depends on someone else's alarm working and their goodwill surviving your 5:30am schedule. Most arrangements last about a week.
wakeupcallme.com
A genuinely free service that's been around for years. It places a basic robocall at your chosen time — no briefing, no awake confirmation, no retry logic. Fine if all you want is a ring.
What's Different
More than a ring at the right time
AI-spoken briefing
Each call opens with a personalised briefing — your local weather and top news headlines, spoken conversationally. You start the day informed instead of reaching for your phone to doomscroll.
Press-1 confirmation
Answering isn't enough — you press 1 to confirm you're awake. It's a small act of consciousness that an alarm's snooze button never demands.
Retries if you don't answer
Sleep through the first call and we ring back a couple of minutes later. Free users get 2 retries per call; paid users get up to 5, plus an SMS fallback.

FAQ
Free wake-up call questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 3 wake-up calls per week, forever, with no credit card required. It's not a trial — it doesn't expire. Paid plans exist for people who want a call every day.
How do I get a free wake-up call?
Sign up with your Google account, add your phone number, and choose your wake-up time and days. Your first call arrives at the next scheduled time. The whole setup takes about a minute.
What's included in the free plan?
3 calls per week, 2 retries per call if you don't answer, and the full AI-spoken morning briefing with local weather and news headlines. The paid plan adds daily calls, up to 5 retries, and an SMS fallback.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Reveille calls your existing phone number — any phone that can receive calls works. You manage your schedule from a web dashboard.
What happens if I don't answer?
We call back a couple of minutes later. Free users get 2 retries per call; paid users get up to 5, with an SMS sent as a final fallback.
How is this better than a free alarm app?
An alarm can be swiped away in your sleep. A phone call makes you pick up, listen, and press 1 to prove you're conscious — and you get your weather and the news while you're at it.
Can I cancel or pause whenever I want?
Yes. Pause your schedule any time from the dashboard, and cancel a paid plan whenever you like. The free plan has nothing to cancel.
Your first wake-up call is free
So is every one after it, three mornings a week. No credit card required.
