Fake Call
Set up a fake incoming call and put your phone down — it rings like the real thing. Choose who's "calling", pick iPhone or Android, and get a harmless fake call screen with ringtone and vibrate. No real call, no app, totally free.
Tip: on some phones, tap the button once to enable sound. Silent mode mutes the ringtone.
How the Fake Call Works
For laughs only. This never places a real call — it just shows a fake call screen on your own phone. Keep it kind: use it to set up a funny excuse to leave, not to genuinely scare or deceive anyone into a real emergency.
What is a fake call?
A fake call is a realistic incoming-call screen you trigger on your own phone — the "caller" isn't real and no actual call is ever placed. You pick the caller's name, number and photo, choose how long until it "rings," then put the phone down and let it go off with a real ringtone and vibration. It's free, needs no app, and the photo you add never leaves your device.
What can you use a fake call for?
- The great escape — set it to ring in a few minutes to bail out of a boring meeting, an awkward date, or a conversation that won't end.
- A prank — make it look like "Unknown," the boss, or a celebrity is calling, hand someone your phone, and watch them react. It's a favourite April Fools' prank.
- A safety move — a well-timed fake call is a classic way to check in with yourself and leave somewhere that doesn't feel right.
Is a fake call app safe — and is it a real call?
It's completely safe and it is not a real call. Nothing is dialled, no number is contacted and you're never charged — the tool simply draws a convincing iPhone or Android call screen over your home screen. It's the harmless cousin of a prank call: for where the line actually is on real calls, see is prank calling illegal?
How to make the fake call believable
Add a real-looking name and number, drop in a photo, match the phone style (iPhone or Android) to the device you're holding, and give yourself a short delay so the "call" arrives naturally. Want to sell it even harder? Follow up with a fake text message from the same "caller," or set the scene with a fake broken screen or a prank page. New to all this?

Fake Call FAQ
Does this make a real phone call?
No. Nothing is dialled and no real call is ever placed — it only shows a realistic fake incoming-call screen on the device you open it on. It is a harmless visual gag, completely safe and free.
How do I use the fake call?
Set the caller name, number and photo, choose iPhone or Android, pick how long until it "rings", then tap Start. Put the phone down and it will show an incoming call after the delay — answer it for a fake conversation or let it ring.
Can I make it look like a specific person is calling?
Yes — type any caller name and number and add a photo from your device. The photo stays on your phone (it is never uploaded), so it is private.
Does it play a ringtone and vibrate?
Yes, where your browser allows it: the fake call rings and vibrates like a real one. On some phones you may need to tap once first for sound, and silent mode will mute it.
How do I get out of the fake call?
Tap Decline or End Call, or press Esc on a computer, and it closes instantly back to the setup screen.
Is it free and private?
Completely free, no sign-up and no app. Everything runs in your browser and the photo you add never leaves your device.
