Simulate calls with this great application! Have you ever been in the situation where you need the perfect excuse to get out of the room or step out of an annoying conversation? Easy: Open FakeCalls and within seconds or minutes the application will simulate a fake call. (No real calls are made; this is just simulation. Good news is: you are the only one who knows that!). Then answer the call, decline it or just let the phone ring to fake a missed call.

Settings are now much easier to access but we are keeping the application simple so the fake call activation is really just one click.

What everybody is talking:
"You have to hand it to Magic Tap for developing an app that is novel and useful, although you have to wonder if Fake Calls will end up being the perfect excuse or a source of never-ending paranoia on blind dates." PCWorld.com
"This is a cheap price to pay for a little bit of security in knowing you will be able to skillfully bow out of any meeting." geek.com
"The app costs $1 — a sound investment to me. I just gave it a test, and I can see it coming in handy on a weekly basis." WIRED.com 2008 Magic Tap

Nice Free App   This app is great while free =). However, GottaGo is better if you have $1.99 to spare (16 downloadable ringtones + ability to record custom ringtones and in-call audio promised in future update).

Doesn't look real.   Slide to unlock doesn't animate, time numbers are too big. Vibration is inaccurate. I'll give 5 stars if this is fixed.

Good app, but....   Please let us choose our own ringtone. Is there a way to have this work without actvitating it through the icon? For example, having it ring while it is in your pocket by pressing a button or something similar. Thanks

Great Idea   I love the idea and could use this to advantage but it needs some important changes - should be able to change the ringer to an iPhone ring and should be able to set the time for it to ring, not just in 1, 5 or 10 minutes but to an actual time so I am not fiddling with the iPhone just before it rings (too obvious).

There's room for improvement   It is a great concept and is executed quite nicely. I do wish for it to use the ringtones already present in the iPhone, especially the custom ringtones. I do agree with some of the commenters on the quality of the fake home screen. It could be better, allowing the slide to actually slide but not work. The clock kind of gives away the false screen because it is bolded. The ability to adjust the photo for the background is also desired.But otherwise, this initial version is very good because it did fool my brother to think that Steve Jobs called my phone.

Excellent app, it's the perfect excuse   Hey Dave-tx, you can easily change settings on the iPhone settings, actually I prefered in that way so when I need a fake call I just touch the icon and wait. I'm happy I could get it for free now. I'll have a lot of fun playing with random names calling me.

Nice app - one suggestion   Good application, does what it needs to do. Only suggestion would be to offer a programmable time delay of 1, 5, or 10 minutes before the "fake call" arrives.

The best fake caller!!!   This is exactly the app I was waiting for. Easy to use and just one touch to activate the fake call. The missing calls feature could be very useful too and if you decline the call, the app calls again. 5 thumbs up!

awesome   works great. got it when it was free. love how it will call back if you ignore it. only suggestion is to be able to pre-record a conversation to be played back when you answer. or have ones already pre-set. that would top it off!

Wingman is better!   I tried this app and Wingman, and Wingman is way better. It lets you set a timer before your fake call comes in, as well as giving you hot topics of conversations and date ideas. More features for the same price!

Great, but a needs some changes.   I think the non-animated unlock bar and function buttons are a good idea, they are a good, discreet way to distinguish your real phone from the app.
Here are some popular suggestions:
- Let us CHOOSE OUR RINGTONES or have the settings (ringtone, wallpaper etc.) in the app match the settings on our phone.
- Have a timer for when to call (Call in one minute, five minutes, maybe even have a slider to choose)
Great app.
