Hi Paul,
What I described shouldn't require a repeat button, if you tell SIRI to "Remind me every Tuesday at 8 AM to do something" or "Remind me on the 15th of every month" then this should set up the recurring reminder for you. You can make sure it did by checking if the confirmation asks you to confirm the reminder which starts on such and such day and you can always open the reminder in Reminders afterwards and check it out.

I wonder if before you forgot to confirm the reminder and that is why it didn't work. I, for example, asked SIRI to "Remind me to take the garbage out every Tuesday at 8 AM". SIRI showed me the reminder and I tapped on "Yes" to confirm, now every Tuesday morning at 8 I get a reminder saying "Take the Garbage out". In your case, you would say, using "telephone bill" as an example along with the 18th and 8 AM as the reminder time: Remind me to pay my telephone bill at 8 AM on the 18th of every month I just tried this and SIRI came back and said "Here is your reminder starting on June 18th at 8 AM, Pay my telephone bill". I find SIRI is by far the easiest and quickest way to set reminders and I never use the Alarmed app any more. I guess it has some features like nagging and setting the reminder to come up a certain time before the actual time you want it and so on, but if I want to be reminded of a 9 AM dentist appointment half an hour early, I just ask SIRI to "Remind me about my 9 o'clock dentist appointment at 8:30 AM". I can have my reminder done before I even have time to unlock my phone and open the Alarmed app. Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Ferrara Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 7:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: help with reminders All, I want to do something that will alert me on the 18th or 19th of the month to pay a bill. What are my alternatives? I have tried reminders, but when I tell siri to remind me of something for another date, she doesn't. Instead she just reminds me now. I want to hear a sound or get some kind of alert on a recurring basis, the same day of every month, as a reminder for me to pay this particular bill. I am open to using native phone apps or to purchasing one if needed. Thanks for the help and suggestions. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
