Is it Possible to Set a Personal Reminder Months in Advance ???

This may be a very beginner question and something everyone else has probably used so much that they take it for granted; but, it has just occurred to me that surely, among it's many other conveniences that I forever keep discovering, my Windows 7 Pro surely has this ability.
I don't have a "smart Phone", most likely never will have one; I truck all over the United States and have found no need for one yet.
What I do have is a very simple Tracfone; I buy a 90-day card about every 120 days to keep the service alive and maybe use 10 minutes each period.

What would be handy for me is to be able to set my computer to provide me with a noticeable, maybe even a bit nagging, yet not obtrusive to whatever I may be doing, NOTICE that it is time to buy another phone card.

The phone itself will definitely alert me that it is time; but, it can't very well do so when it hasn't been turned on in weeks.

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Windows 7 never came with a reminder/calendar program as a default, they were added in various packs , now not easy to find ...

there are a few 3rd party apps out there some paid some free, take a look at Desktop-Reminder - a freeware task planner for Windows as one of many that should give you what you need

Thank you most kindly; I will check it out.

A long while ago on this Forum @SIW2 showed me how to implement the Vista Calendar on Windows 7. You can have the thread here: Replace Windows Vista Calender with a suitable Windows 7 program

I wrote a note in my appointment book for a few days before my minutes expire. You can also stick a post-it on your calendar.

I will have to make a note to get an appointment book; I tried them a few times several years ago, but I would end up with about 361 pages with nothing at all and forget to check them on the four days that did matter.

The post-it on the calendar is a pretty good idea; I had always before thought of the calendar as a place to record things that had already happened as opposed to things yet to come; I guess it could work equally well in both directions.

I went ahead and installed Desktop Reminder - the program that Barman58 provided the link for.
I haven't quite got it figured out yet, but it seems to have the capabilities I need to better help me keep track of things that are easy to let slip by.
