Fake Call, a free utility from Nova.Labs, allows the user to set up a fake call. Set the time, the name and the number of the supposed caller and wait for the call. This prank app looks like a real incoming call, with the option for you to answer or cancel the call.

Set up prank calls on your phone

Fake Call has a barebones layout with all the necessary fields. It also has a countdown timer that determines how much time you have to wait before the call arrives. It even lets you choose the Call Screen appearance based on a couple of preprogrammed options.

While it generally works the same as setting an alarm clock, its fake calls are quite convincing. Even if your phone is locked, it will spring to life with an Incoming Call from the name and number you provided. It even includes the same animation.

A simple app with a single purpose

For people looking for an excuse to exit an event or a conversation, check out this Fake Call app. You can even show it to other people to convince them that you have a call you need to take. Simple and effective, this app works as advertised.
