Say it once. It rings you at the right moment.Call one number, say "ring me when..." in your own words, and hang up. It phones you back the second the bus, the rain, the queue or the price gets there.
No app. No smartphone. No account. Just your phone number.
Three things, all on a normal call.
Who is calling in?
Your number is your login
Caller ID matched, then a 4 digit code by text the first time. It only ever rings this number back.
What will you say?
Ring how early?Keypad works too: press 1 to repeat, 0 for a human helper (paid plans), # to hear your list.
You can hang up any time. It already has what it needs.
Turning your words into a watch.
The text confirmation.
Reply STOP to cancel, LIST to see all your calls. Plain SMS, so it reaches a basic phone.
Your phone is in your pocket. Nothing to check. The line is watching for you.
Declined? It sends a text instead: the same line, in a few words. Missed calls never repeat more than once.
You caught the 73.
Sam's week, handled.
> ring me when it is below 5 degrees tonight
< Set. I will ring you if it drops below 5°C before 07:00.
Ania (in Kraków) set two calls for her mum Halina in Warsaw. Halina pressed 1 to accept them. Ania can never use the line to ring anyone else, and Halina can say "stop" on any call.
Nobody should have to stare at a screen to know when the world is ready for them.
Two billion people still use a basic phone, and billions more never set up the alerts their apps offer. Ring Me When turns every public data feed into a friendly voice that calls the moment it matters, in your language.
- Year 1Ten cities with live transit and clinic queues. Polish, Spanish, English, Portuguese, Yoruba, Tagalog, Hindi. 100,000 standing calls a day.
- Year 2Any public feed becomes callable: pharmacy stock, ferry delays, flood levels, ration and benefits queues. Councils and transit agencies print the number on every stop.
- Year 3One number per country, 40 languages, landlines included. A caring layer for older people: families set it up, the phone just rings at the right moment.
