Is it possible to set one on TT LLU system?
Not the type where a friend calls at some ridiculous time in the morning.
Might be easier to ask here than trawl through the TT site.

Hi, got some info back:
It's £1.50 a month and takes 48 hours to go live then the customer does the following to use it:
- By dialling the VSC *55*time#, the customer can set a reminder call for the time specified
- To cancel the reminder call #55# is used To check the status of any current reminder call, dial *#55#
If it's not listed on your available service in MyAccount then ring TalkTalk customer services, they'll add the service for you.

Reminder Call
To set up a reminder call, dial: * 55 * [Time] #
To set up a regular reminder call, dial: * 56 * [Time] * [Option] #
Option available: (1: Monday / 2: Tuesday / 3: Wednesday / 4: Thursday / 5: Friday / 6: Saturday / 7: Sunday / 8: Monday to Friday / 9: Everyday)
To cancel all regular reminder call, dial: #56#
To enter the time, use the 24-hour clock.
E.g. to set up a reminder for 4:19pm, you would dial *55*1619#
To set up a daily reminder call, dial: * 56 * [Time] #
To check if a reminder call is activated, dial: * # 55 #
To cancel a reminder call, dial: # 55 #
This feature is also available on a pay-per-use basis.

also available on a pay per use basis, so you should not need to have it as a monthly charge if you only need to use it once a month.

£1.50 a month thats mega money; think it would be cheaper in long run to buy a cheap alarm clock from Woolies or similar for about a £5. Even cheaper get a friend who has a alarm clock and 'free' TT calls to call you each morning or what ever time you need to 'rise'lollollollollol

I'd like to know the pay per use price, probably same cost as ring back.

Thanks for all your replies, I just need it for very occasional use, so a one off charge is ok.
Have just found it can't be used unless subscribed for....dial *55*. so how is it used on a pay-per-use basis.?

Yes, but still can't see anything regarding alarm calls as a one off service.
