Apparently you get text messages letting you know you subscribed, and you can just reply stop to block them. He just yelled at me when he got 200 text messages in a row.
What about a land line?
EDIT: They don't do anything for land line users, just tried it on my land line phone. Great spam tool indeed :/

you can call the number to cancel or block the service, it's listed at https://wakeup.io
I know but that's after you know you've been signed up because you received a call at 1AM. How do they let land line users know they've been signed up?
How are the owners affording these costs? Sending calls and text messages isn't free obviously.
Or are they selling our information?
From the terms:
We use your personal information to operate, maintain, and improve our sites, products, and services.
That could be interpreted pretty loosely.

I tried to schedule a wake up for 12:50pm and it said I am getting a call at 12:50am. FML
I see there is no information about cost. Are there any plans to charge, and if so what would you charge?
Maybe a $25-$35 year plan would make sense depending on how often the wakeup calls are needed.

It could be a nice spam tool.
What keeps people from entering someone else's number here?
New idea: prank.io. You pay $1 and enter your friends number and it'll call him/she between 2am and 5am couple of times.
edit: friend who was pranked can pay $5 to discover who was the asshole.

And have it warn your friend it'll randomly call them in the middle of the night, and offer them the opportunity to pay $2 to call it off.
You can now cancel the wake-up calls by dialing 857-254-9253.
I just sent my friend 200+ wake up calls in 5 minutes. I really hope it calls him 200 times.
And it's free.
