How to Use Zangy
Setting up AI phone call reminders takes less than two minutes. Follow these five steps and you will never miss an important reminder again. Zangy calls your phone at the exact time you choose — no app needed to receive the call.
Step 1.Create Your Free Account
Head to zangy.io and sign up with your phone number. Verification takes about 30 seconds — you'll receive a one-time code via SMS. No credit card is required, and every new account gets a 7-day free trial with $2 in call credits to test the service.
Tip: Your signup phone number is automatically verified and ready to receive reminder calls immediately.
Step 2.Add Your Phone Number
Your signup number works right away, but you can add more phone numbers in Settings. This is useful if you want to send reminders to a family member, a work phone, or a different number. Each number requires a quick OTP verification to confirm ownership. Zangy supports international numbers across dozens of countries.
Tip: Check our calling rates page to see per-minute costs for your country before adding international numbers.
Step 3.Create a Reminder
Navigate to the Reminders section and tap "Create Reminder." Give your reminder a title (like "Take evening medication" or "Call the dentist"), pick the date and time, and select which verified phone number should receive the call. You can set reminders to repeat daily, weekly, or on specific days for recurring tasks.
Tip: For medication reminders, include the drug name and dosage in the title so the AI voice reads out the specifics during the call.
Step 4.Choose Text or Voice
Zangy gives you two options for how the reminder sounds when it calls. Type a text message and Zangy's AI converts it to natural-sounding speech during the call. Or upload your own MP3 recording — record yourself, a family member, or any custom audio. The MP3 option is popular for elderly care: hearing a loved one's voice is more comforting and effective than a generic AI voice.
Tip: Keep text messages under 200 words for the clearest AI speech. For MP3 uploads, aim for 15-30 seconds of audio.
Step 5.Receive Your AI Phone Call
At the scheduled time, your phone rings. An AI voice delivers your reminder message clearly and naturally. If the call isn't answered, it's logged in your dashboard so you can see missed reminders at a glance. No app installation is needed to receive calls — Zangy works with any phone that can receive regular phone calls, including landlines.
Tip: Make sure your phone isn't in Do Not Disturb mode at the scheduled time, or add Zangy's calling number to your allowed contacts.
