available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Cooper says about 15 people are using the service, including several Texas A&M students.

“The service is especially nice for students who need to be at class at a certain time or stayed up until 2 a.m. studying and didn’t hear the alarm,” Cooper says. “They are going to hear the telephone ring.”

ACX Communications’ employees make all the wake-up calls.

“We’re cheerful when waking up our customers,” she says. “Some­times we will tell them the weather. If the weather is rainy, we will tell them they need to wear their rain­coat.”

When asked if employees have en­countered any amusing situations waking up customers, Cooper laughed, saying the information is “confidential.”
