Fake Calls For 5th Ed Devices
Cool New App To Trick Your Friends!

Have you ever been in the situation where you need the perfect excuse to get out of room, step out of boring and never-ending paranoia on blind date, or simply trick your friends? Well, if the answer is YES then please read on!

Fake Calls is a brand new application from Dr. Jukka that allows you to make a timed fake incoming phone calls and the best thing is about is that it looks so real that you’ll be the only one who knows that!

Fake Calls just simulate a an incoming call at a certain date and time and as no actual call is made and everything is handled inside the device, no network connection is needed so thus fake calls are completely free of charge.

All parts of the application are using device themes, thus the Fake Calls Display also shows the native looking UI that uses the currently selected theme.

Also ringtones used with the Fake calls display are fetched from the device settings. If the contact selected for the Fake Call is having own ringtone, it will be used just as with native incoming call, and if it does not then the current profiles ringtone is used.

Last but not the least, if the selected contact has an image or thumbnail picture, they will be shown in the Fake call Display.

Note that if you don't want to receive any actual calls while using the Fake calls, you can turn your device Offline, and if you do so, please add the Operator name & Fallback ringtone from the Settings, otherwise you will not have the operator name shown, as well as the ringtone will not be played.

Known issues with current version:

• Works only with touch devices such as N97, 5800 etc
• Some gradient transparency effects are not used with the called details bubble in fake calls display
• BeepOnce for ringtone type in profiles is handled just as RingingOnce ringtone type - Video Ringtones are not shown
