How to Fake a Call on an Android Phone
The Android operating system is undoubtedly the most popular at the moment and if you happen to own an Android device, you can make use of the Google Play Store to download apps for nearly every purpose. The Play Store (Google’s app store) has over 600,000 apps presently, and the majority of them are either free, or have free to try versions available.
‘Fake call’ is not a new idea, pre-Android smart-phones, such as Nokia’s Symbian based devices, had their own apps for fake calls. These apps provide an interface through which you can usually schedule incoming calls for set timings or intervals. These calls will obviously be fake, but will make your phone vibrate or ring just like it does when you receive an actual call, allowing you to excuse yourself from unwanted gatherings, meetings etc.
If you are looking to have this feature on your Android based device, the following steps will help you download a suitable app and be ‘fake calling’ your way out of unwanted situations.
