I keep getting a call back reminder on my phone from a local merchant (a veterinarian we used). It was in a calendar invitation and keeps popping up. Strangely, it happens when I enter or leave my neighborhood at the same street corner. Also, just seems to pop up at home too. Of course, I have called the number back, cancelled the message repeatedly. It has been going on for months. Any ideas.
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2
If you're convinced this behavior originates with the Calendar app, then open that app, click the magnifying glass on top, and enter the veterinarian's name. Find the event that is causing this reminder and delete it.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried to find it on my phone and delete it before, but cannot. I know the number is for the Vet, but don't know why it keep popping up. I just went into iCal on my computer and deleted an event from 2014. Maybe that will work. Any thought as to why it would pop up at the same street corner in my neighborhood? I mean, it has happened many dozens of times.
You can have geo-fenced reminders. They would appear in the Reminders app. They would look like this on an iPhone:
Or this on a Mac:
Use your Reminders app to perform the same sort of search you did in Calendar.
Thanks again for the reply. I don't really use reminders and it is empty on my phone. I found one on my iMac but it was not the same number.
OK, i just searched on my iPhone in the Search feature. the Call back number shows up there in 'Reminders'. But when I click on it it goes to a blank screen. And it is not found in Reminders. There 3 other Call Back reminders that were completed on 6/4/14 found there. The one in question doesn't register as completed.

OK, then deleting it should solve your issue!
I Can see it in search but cannot get to it anywhere else to actually delete it. Below is a screen shot in the search function. Thanks again
One more thing. It never pops up when I am out of town.
It is geofenced which is why it pops up at that particular location. If you cannot delete it in Reminders you may have to Restore your iPhone as a new device and then manually add apps back to it.
OK. I will try that. Thanks.
I agree with deggie.
In my "Brush my teeth" example, I can tap on the spotlight instance of the reminder, which will take me to the Reminders app where I can delete it.
If you cannot get to the reminder, follow deggie's advice.
