Fake Call 2.3 (for Palm OS)
Fake Call 2.3 (for Palm OS)
FakeCall will allow you to set up a fake phone call given a time delay and it will play any MIDI, wav/mp3/ogg/wma ringtone. Everything is authentic. Even the call screens are Phone look a like. When you answer the call, one of the four pre-defined greeting hello will be heard. You can also select any wav/mp3/ogg/wma as the hello greeting to make the fake call even more authentic. So when the next time you need to get out of a boring meeting, conversation or impress someone just remember to activate the fake call.

treohawk: great idea! directions aren't all that clear though - and whats worse - after I reconfigure it, every time I can't turn my treo back on and need to reset it - what gives?!?
EazyE: Good idea. but i dont like how you have to provide your own voice file. who has voice files just sitting around. 35k is a small file size but so is 250k. Application works fine but its just a little to unpolished for me to use. while using a color scheme the phone screen looks completely messed up. screen transitions are slow too. i still give it a 9 because it does everything it says, good design and great idea. just not the software for me.
august6th: Interesting software.
copasetic: OMG this is soo much more tactful and thoughtful than "I'm just not into you," isn't it? :)
fugu: Excellent app! Very responsive developer!

- Fixed the calling screens fonts more like the real phone screens
2.1 Changes

the Fake call. To do this just put the keyword "fakecall" in the appointment
time eg: if you want to activate the fake call at 11:30am then put the keyword
"fakecall
" as the description. Do not set an alarm for the appointment.

Fake call will use the first ringtone in the Key Activation screen.
