A wake-up call (alarm call in the UK) is a service provided by most lodging establishments to provide a service similar to alarm clocks via a telephone.

The phrase has been used to describe a sign or warning that alerts one to negative or dangerous behavior or circumstances.[1] In east Asia, a wake-up call is commonly known as a "morning call."

Several online services have been built for wake up call phone reminders such as Wakeup.io at https://wakeup.io and Better Wake-Up Call at https://betterwakeupcall.com.
