Frequently Asked Questions

FreeReminders.net is a professional reminder service that sends you personalized notifications via email and text at exactly the right time. Simply create your reminders, set when you want to be notified, and we'll handle the rest. Unlike calendar apps that require you to check them, we proactively deliver reminders directly to you.

Great question! While phone apps are convenient, they have limitations:

• Battery dependency: Dead phone = missed reminders
• Single device: Only works on that specific device
• Limited delivery: Usually just notifications you might miss
• No backup: If your phone breaks, reminders are gone

FreeReminders.net sends reminders to multiple channels (email AND text), works from any device, and provides reliable backup delivery.

No! FreeReminders.net is completely web-based. You can access your account from any device with an internet connection - your computer, tablet, or smartphone. No downloads, no installations, no app store required.

We offer four different plans to match every need and budget:

• Free Plan - $0/forever: Up to 5 reminders (3 email + 2 text), basic templates, perfect for occasional reminders
• Monthly Premium - $3.99/month: Up to 40 reminders, 20 text messages + 20 email reminders, all templates, recurring reminders
• Annual Premium - $39.99/year: Up to 50 reminders, 25 text messages + 25 email reminders, save 17% vs monthly (most popular!)
• 3-Year Premium Plus - $99.99/3 years: Up to 60 reminders, 30 text messages + 30 email reminders, maximum savings (save $43.73 vs monthly)

All premium plans include priority support, recurring reminders, and secure delivery to verified email and phone numbers only.
