A friend of mine told me there was a 900- telephone line that you can call and for a buck, they will give you a wake up call in the morn. (he forgot the number.. so please don't ask for it) Anyway, I wanted a wake up call to my LOUD phone so that I would get up at 6am this morning. So last night I tried this cmd: at 06:00 Tue 06:00 military time or you could say 6am cu xxxxxxx xxx are my home phone number... at 6 sharp my wake-up call woke me up... (more than I can say about my clock). I think I will be using this more often.. :) just a thought...
