I often find myhself at the end of the day, or on the week end, thinking: I need to call X and make a appointment, but I can't now it is outside of office hours. Then I'll forget about it during the day, or I won't be able to find the phone number easily and I'll put it off.

What I would like is some kind of reminder system that has the ability to store a phone number and then I can just press a button to call them. Often this number won't be in my contacts as I won't expect to deal with them more than once.

Ideally there would be away to do this will Google Now.

  • Are you asking for an app that can do this?

  • Not nessicarily. I am loomking for a method to achieve this goal. If this is a inbuilt function in one of the "default" app, then I would like instructions on how to do it. If it is not, then yes I am looking for another App Dec 16, 2013 at 10:58

Not exactly that way, but you might wish to take a look at Business Tasks:

Business Tasks
Business Tasks (click for larger image)

As the screenshot shows, you can put a contact as task, and then simply hit the phone symbol to place a call (calls up the dialer). Unfortunately, this seems to require the contact being in your contacts list. I've just tried to place a note with a phone number inside; wasn't "clickable". Though that might be worth a ping to the devs, which are quite responsive and might be adding that feature in some way.

Alternatively, you might wish to take a look at Number Saver. According to this answer it automatically suggests to call a number if the clipboard contains it. Until the Business Tasks devs put it in an update, a combination might do.

Cheap work-around might also be to put a contact shortcut on your homescreen. But again, this would require the person to be in your contacts list.

Finally, there's Clipboard Dialer:

This little tool enables you to extract all phone numbers from what ever text is in your clipboard. It will present a list of all numbers it finds giving you an easy way to call, SMS or create a new contact.

  • Update: I just got feedback from the Business Tasks devs. The "number linker" is already on their todo list, and should be part of a future update (no timeline yet).
