Wake Up Call Service | Remote | Hiring people to make calls | At your convenience, no set hours

Wake Up Call Service is a mobile app on iOS and Android that allows people to schedule a wake up call and get a call from a real, friendly human at the desired time. All calls happen through the app, so no phone numbers are exchanged. Get a chance to wake up sleepy people from all over the world!

Apply in the app - it's super simple: https://www.realwakeupcalls.com

I never tested this but always suspected it. When I learned that providers differentiate themselves on how they optimize and host the model (otherwise, why would you choose one over another?), I figured some were less "give me the best possible experience" than others.

I'm still tinkering with my iOS/Android app.

It allows you to get a wake up call, like you would at a hotel, but from a real, friendly person somewhere around the world. If nobody is available to make your call, you'll get an automated call with a friendly recording.

All calls happen through the app so no phone numbers exchanged.

I'm still iterating on my little mobile app :)

It's an app that allows you to schedule a wake-up call and get a real call from a friendly person, somewhere in the world. No phone numbers exchanged. All calls happen through VoIP in the app.

Random aside: I distinctly remember getting on a phone call with people from the SEC (US Gov't) with the goal of understanding if I could legally start a prediction market. This was during 2020 or 2021. I recall them saying basically "no way" and that it wouldn't be legal, and would be rife with abuse.

Fun times.

I've got a mobile app.

It allows you to get a wake up call from someone friendly, somewhere out there in the world.

It's got a handful of regular users and it's mostly me making the calls, but it's great fun to wake people up!

No phone number required - these are VoIP calls via the app.

Built it because I think it's cool.

But why, in recent years, has the US not taken border control seriously?
