A Birth Control Reminder You Will Not Sleep Through
The pill works best taken at the same time every day. MedsReminder calls your phone at that time, every day, and says whatever discreet wording you choose.
No credit card required · Works on any phone (no app needed on the receiver's end)
Why silent notifications keep failing here
Timing matters with some pills
Some pills, like the progestin-only mini pill, have a window of only a few hours. A reminder you notice late is not good enough.
Alarms get snoozed
A daily alarm becomes background noise within weeks. Snooze it once and the pill is forgotten.
Not everyone wants a pill app on their phone
A birth control app icon is visible to anyone who picks up your phone. A phone call leaves nothing behind.
How MedsReminder's reminder calls work
Set the time and message
Write what should be said, choose a time. Recurring schedules are supported, including 3× daily.
MedsReminder calls the phone
At the scheduled minute, a real phone call goes out: yours, or someone else's. No app required on the receiving end.
Voicemail-aware retries
If voicemail picks up, the message is left and the system retries from an alternate number so it doesn't get silently lost.
Use cases people set up most
The same time every day
One recurring call at your pill time. It rings every day, weekends included.
Discreet wording
The call says what you write. "Your 9pm reminder" works fine. Nobody nearby needs to know what it is for.
Travel and time zones
Reminders follow the timezone you set, so you can keep your usual time or move it while you are away.
Honest pricing comparison
Reminder-call services pricing as of 2026. Information is sourced from each provider's public pricing page.
| Service | Entry price | Free trial | App required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| MedsReminder | $7.50/mo (50 calls) | 14 free calls | No |
| Memo24 | $0.10/call (pay-as-you-go) | Free trial | No |
| CareCheckers | $29.95/mo | None | No |
Memo24 pricing is per-call; works out cheaper for low-volume use, more expensive once you're scheduling multiple reminders per day. CareCheckers includes live representatives.
Frequently asked questions
Is this private?
The call says only the wording you write, so it can be as vague as you like. Nothing on the call needs to mention birth control.
Do I need to install an app?
No. You set it up in a web browser and the reminder arrives as a normal phone call.
What if I miss the call?
If voicemail picks up, the reminder is left as a message and MedsReminder calls back from a different number shortly after.
My pack has a break week. What do I do?
You can edit or delete the reminder at any time. Many people keep the daily call going so the habit stays in place. Follow the instructions that came with your pill.
Is this medical advice?
No. MedsReminder is a reminder service. Ask your doctor or pharmacist what to do if you miss a pill.
How much does it cost?
14 free calls to start, then $7.50 a month for up to 50 calls. One daily reminder uses about 30 calls a month.
