hi,

i have an android phone with the alexa app installed. your reminder will only go off two ways. one it will go off on whichever echo device you spoke your reminder to. next, i have an android phone with the alexa app installed on it. when the reminder goes off regardless where i am, my phone gets the notification for that reminder.

as for setting a reminder on your phone to basically do the reverse? a person could take with a fire tablet, that'd work. i have not done that. i just sync the android google calendar and alexa apps. i suppose you could set your echo device down next to a landline answering machine. call yourself with the speaker set LOUD. then phone home, use your voice over the machine to trigger alexa IF we lived in 'macgyver world.' ::) 

joking aside, hope you get it all worked out.

You can add reminders from the app, at least I can from my Android phone. Just go to "Reminders & Alarms", make sure you have the right device selected, and tap "Add Reminder".

Yes, as long as your phone has an internet connection when you set the reminder (cellular or wi-fi) then you can be anywhere and it will work when you get home.
