When a site or an application is in beta, it means that work is still in progress and features are still in the process of being introduced and tested. It automatically follows that you may encounter a bug or two in the functioning while it is in beta.
We request you to kindly report any bugs you encounter so that we may be able to fix them and give users a better experience.

Although, you cannot make any SMS credit purchases, you can still "earn" SMS credits under a free Account and set SMS reminders till such time as you have credit in your account.

Pro Accounts are a way for you to acknowledge that IDoItOnTime is helping you remember things better and making sure that nothing slips through the cracks. It is your way of supporting the effort that IDoItOnTime is.
By signing up for a Pro Account you have access to some really cool benefits which a Free Account would not give you. These include additional features, priority support via email and an affiliate status whereby you can earn some money whenever users referred/introduced by you make any purchases on our site. However, there is a small fee associated with the Pro Accounts.

A Gift Pro Account is a Pro account that you gift to somebody. When you purchase a Gift Pro Account, you are given an Activation Code which you gift to somebody. When the receiver of your gift logs into I Do It On Time, he can enter the Activation Code and upgrade his Free Silver Account.

The first time when you register on the Site, a "Welcome email" is sent to the email address that you specify at the time of registration. While you may have access to the site immediately upon registration, any reminders that you set are not sent out until the first time you log into your account using the Username and Password that is sent as part of the "Welcome email".
Apart from this, there is no reason why a reminder that is set correctly will not be delivered. If you think the reminders are not going, please make sure that the email mentioned in the contact details is/are correct and not misspelled. Next, ensure that the checkbox(es) next to the Email address(es) to which you want the reminder to be sent are checked. If the email address(es) are correct, there may be a possibility that the email service provider is treating the mails as spam and relegating them to the spam or junk folder.

You may receive the reminders at the wrong time or on the wrong day because of improper setting of your time-zone. Make sure the time zone setting is right and try again. To check your time zone setting, click here.
For email reminders, there may be a slight lag but this lag should be consistent in all the emails received. It is recommended that you set a few test reminders and evaluate the time lag involved and accordingly factor in the time lag when you set new reminders. For SMS reminders, we utilize a third party service and the deliveries are dependent on the load on their infrastructure at any point of time. However, a fair degree of consistency is maintained as in case of emails and once you send a few test SMS reminders you should be able to factor in the time lag for any new reminders that you set.
There is however, no definite way to ensure that the reminders reach you exactly at any specific time and a slight degree of deviation is expected.

Yes, you can receive/send email reminders at upto two email addresses for each contact including yourself. To choose which email address(es) of any contact the email reminder has to be sent to, you need to check the box next to the email address to which you want the reminder to be sent. To do so, follow the steps below :
'Sign In' and click on 'Contacts' in the tool bar. Click on 'View' to see all the contacts set through your account.
Identify the contact you wish to see the settings for and click on the 'Edit' link against that contact.
Verify that the email address(es) are correctly entered and check the box(es) next to the email address(es) to which you want the reminder to be sent.
Click on 'Save' to complete the process.

SMS Credits are what you need to buy or earn in order to send your reminders directly to a mobile phone through a text message or short messaging service (SMS). As we use third party services to deliver the SMS to you and your contacts, there is a small fee charged for each SMS depending on which country the mobile (to which the SMS is sent) is registered in. This fee is adjusted against the SMS credits available in your SMS Account. You may either purchase SMS credits or earn SMS credits to replenish the credits available to you.

Depending on the country in which the mobile phone is registered, the SMS credits are deducted from your Account. For a complete list of countries where the SMS service is available and the credits charged to send an SMS to these countries, click here
For example, if you set an SMS reminder for two contacts on your list, two separate SMS will be sent and hence the charge of two SMS will apply.
For India, it is 1 SMS credit for every SMS sent. For the SMS credit tariff of other countries, click here. The SMS credits charged for different countries are also displayed against the mobile number of the contact when you select the country to which the mobile phone belongs when you specify the same.

The number of SMS messages to be sent will depend on two factors as follows :
(a) The limit for a single SMS is 160 characters and hence depending upon the number of characters in your reminder message, multiple SMS will be sent.
(b) The number of contacts in your list that you wish to send the SMS reminder to.
So, if you intend to send a reminder message which is 170 characters long to 3 contacts, the system would have to send 2 X 3 = 6 SMS to complete sending the reminder. Assuming that the reminder is being sent to phones registered in India, 6 SMS credits would be deducted from your Account.

Invariably, there will be times when you will not be available at your seat or may not have access to your PC or email account. At such times you could miss out on important reminders that you might have set and it is therefore advisable to use the SMS option for any important reminders that you set.
In a lighter vein, you could use the SMS service to send text messages to your contacts while you are working on the PC in your office without the risk of your boss catching you using the phone!.

Yes, you can receive/send SMS reminders at upto two mobile numbers for each contact including yourself. To choose which mobile number(s) of any contact the SMS reminder has to be sent to, you need to check the box next to the mobile number to which you want the reminder to be sent. To do so, follow the steps below : 'Sign In' and click on 'Contacts' in the tool bar. Click on 'View' to see all the contacts set through your account.Identify the contact you wish to see the settings for and click on the 'Edit' link against that contact.
Verify that the mobile numbers are correctly entered and check the box(es) next to the mobile numbers to which you want the reminder to be sent.
Click on 'Save' to complete the process.

There is no reason why a reminder that is set correctly will not be delivered. If you think the reminders are not going, please make sure that the mobile number(s) mentioned in the contact details is/are correct. If the mobile number(s) is/are correct, there may be a possibility that the message settings are not correctly set on your mobile or your mobile may be in 'Power Off' mode.
If you still have a problem, report it to us by clicking here.

Once your SMS credit balance drops down to 10 credits, we will send you a message to your email account and to your mobile phone number. Thereafter, whenever the system encounters a SMS reminder that you have previously and which the system cannot send for want of credits, the system will send you an email informing you of its inability to send your reminder and at the same time reminding you to top up your Account.

If your SMS credit balance becomes zero, you can no longer send any SMS reminders and any pre-scheduled reminders intended to be sent by SMS will not be sent. However, any reminders to be sent by email will be sent as scheduled.

Yes, at any point of time, the maximum number of SMS credits that you can hold in your account are 5000. This limit is set so that we can always ensure that there are enough credits for all of our users and one user doesn't leave others without credits.

The SMS credits in your account cannot be redeemed for money or transferred to another account. In the unfortunate event that your account has to be deleted or terminated, you would lose any SMS credits in your account.

You can use the 'Search' option the same way as you would use a search engine.

Yes, any contact can be a part of any group you have and hence it follows that any contact in your list may belong to multiple groups.

Yes, putting contacts into groups makes it easy to send a reminder to multiple people/contacts. You could simply select a group and mark the reminder to all of them rather than go through the entire list of contacts and individually selecting the contacts. For example, instead of individually select the names of all your friends, you could just choose the Friends group and click on Select All link to set a reminder to all your friends.
