How Our UK Wake-Up Call Service Works

UKWakeUp is an automated wake-up call service for the United Kingdom. You choose when we should call, the number we should dial and the sound you want to wake up to, and we place the call at that time — with no app to install and no account to create.

Order wake-up calls

How to order

Pick the day and time, enter the UK phone number we should dial and choose a wake-up sound, then press Order call and pay securely through Stripe using one of the available payment methods. As soon as the payment is confirmed, your wake-up call is scheduled.

Pricing

The first wake-up call costs £0.70, and each additional wake-up call in the same order costs £0.50. You pay once, at checkout — there is no subscription and no recurring charge.

Supported UK mobiles and landlines

We call UK mobile numbers and landlines across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Premium-rate and other non-standard numbers are not supported. You can choose how you wake up — with a friendly voice, a family-friendly joke, bird song, a rooster or a reveille bugle call.

Ordering several days at once

You can order a single wake-up call or up to 99 calls in one order, all at the same time of day. Choose Need wake-up calls on multiple days? on the order form to set how many calls you want, and tick Monday to Friday only if we should skip weekends.

Call attempts

If the call is not answered, we try again every five minutes, up to 12 times. These attempts are included in the price.

Making sure you can hear the call

Our number will not be in your contacts, and it may show as withheld. A mobile stays quiet in silent mode, Do Not Disturb and sleep mode. A landline may block unknown numbers or have its ringer switched off at night. Either way you may not hear the call, so check these settings before you sleep:

  • iPhone: in the Sleep Focus settings, and in Do Not Disturb if you use it at night, set allowed calls to Everyone. Also make sure Silence Unknown Callers is off in the phone settings.
  • Android: in the Do Not Disturb or Bedtime mode settings, set allowed calls to Anyone. The exact names depend on the phone maker and software version, so look for the calls option inside those modes.
  • Landline: allow calls from unknown or withheld numbers if your phone or provider blocks them, for example anonymous call rejection, a call-blocker box or BT Call Protect. If your cordless handset switches the ringer off at night, check that it is back on by your wake-up time.

Voicemail and answering machines

If voicemail or an answering machine picks up, the call has been answered, so we do not call again. On a mobile, make sure the phone rings where you can hear it, so that you answer before voicemail does. On a landline, we let the phone ring for about half a minute. If your answering machine picks up sooner than that, set it to wait longer or switch it off for that night.

Blocking unwanted calls

Please only book calls to numbers whose owner has agreed to them. Ordering wake-up calls for other people without their consent is abuse. We will cooperate with law enforcement inquiries and provide any available digital evidence if required. If you've received an unwanted wake-up call from our service, email us and we will block your number.
