/storms out of the classroom - shawns, on 11/06/2008, -3/+71When will the iPhone be able to write doctor's notes to get me out of work?
- kplo, on 04/01/2009, -3/+68Nice...
"What, what? Oh my God... I'll be right there!" - inactive, on 11/06/2008, -3/+41Every time I think I've read the lamest comment on Digg, a new one takes it's place.
- liquilife, on 11/06/2008, -0/+25Actually, this app is really good fro freaking your friends out. Adjust the settings for this fake call app to mimic the number and name of your friend. Set the timer and hand the phone to them to look at a picture or something. The look of confusion they express when they see they are calling is priceless.
Update: I have an app called "FakeCalls" which seems to be slightly different then what is described in the article. One of the differences being free. - nightowl313, on 11/06/2008, -0/+21I can't quite see how it's a get out of jail free card - isn't it more like a "saved by the bell" ring?
- serif69, on 11/06/2008, -4/+22"Steve, I told you. They want copy and paste. [beat] No, no. emailing doesn't cut it. And I don't care what your feng shui dude told you, it has to be there. [beat] Alright we'll talk later."
- xOutlawx, on 11/06/2008, -4/+22Robin: [on the phone] Hey there, sexy.
Barney: Hello, Aunt Kathy, what's up?
Robin: Oh, nothing. Just thinking about you, hot stuff.
Barney: An accident? Well, is Uncle Rudy gonna be okay.
Robin: Aunt Kathy has an itch that only you can scratch, big boy.
Barney: Oh, God! Why did he think he could build his own helicopter?
Robin: C'mon daddy, break me off a piece of that white chocolate.
Barney: Well, if he needs a transplant, he can have mine! - Tyrghast, on 11/06/2008, -6/+24Every time I think I've seen the greatest comment on Digg, a new one takes it's place.
- roctimo, on 11/06/2008, -0/+13Only if AC Slater calls you.
- PabloMac, on 11/06/2008, -2/+15It's "its." Don't ask why.
- Snoosy, on 11/06/2008, -2/+14You must not read many comments then.
- DanteDefiance, on 11/06/2008, -1/+13Version 3.0
Unfortunately people will complain the Doctor signature is too neat. Poor iPhone...you just can't seem to please everyone. - inactive, on 11/06/2008, -1/+12Yeah, I saw that 4 mins later. My bad. Go ahead, tear me apart grammar ninjas!
- inigomntoya, on 11/06/2008, -1/+11I ALWAYS have my phone on silent ring so I don't have to turn it on and off in meetings, theaters, etc. So, if I need to pretend I am getting a call, I just put my phone to my face and start talking. Much easier. No setup required.
- BradOFarrell, on 11/06/2008, -4/+14Uh-oh, awkward conversation, let me just take out my iphone, slide to unlock, launch this application, then press this button--OH NOES A FAKE PHONE CALL GOTTA GO.
Effective! - mingistech, on 11/06/2008, -0/+9FakeCalls is a 99¢ app.
not free. - nunofgs, on 11/06/2008, -0/+8Step 7: Jail.
- HonoredMule, on 11/06/2008, -0/+8*sharpens claws*
- inigomntoya, on 11/06/2008, -0/+7Now if only it could play a pre-recorded message...
"John, this is Jerry. Jerry from the future. Now, listen closely to me...." - majumdar, on 11/06/2008, -0/+6iSick
- macbookhair, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5thats what she said.
- mingistech, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5The app you list "FakeCalls" is actually listed on the AppStore as a 99¢ app.
- diggermania, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5i used this to play a prank on my girlfriend. i grabbed one of those typical myspace photo's teenage girls be putting on their page and slapped it on as a wallpaper for the app. I set my phone down near here and set the timer to 3 minutes while I went to the kitchen and cooked. My phone 'rang' and I got punched in the face before i was able to explain to her my cool new app
oh yeah, fakecalls does the same thing for free - joshefosho, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5Or just have it on vibrate and say its vibrating.
- CatsAreGods, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5Dang, I thought someone had snuck a jailbreak app into the app store.
- Seraph, on 11/06/2008, -0/+5@cawpin
"It" is a pronoun just like "him" or "her". So what knightboat said is valid - Archer007, on 11/06/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7PHL4HXm1o#t=6m3s
- Archer007, on 11/06/2008, -0/+4http://xkcd.com/494/
- jerrycan, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3do we really need an app for this...I take out my phone and start talking and end with something like "okay, I'm coming over now...see you soon." Who is to say it didn't just vibrate FFS.
- benplaut, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3This one will stand for a LONG time in my mind...
http://digg.com/world_news/Man_Finds_Racial_Slur_O ... - inigomntoya, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3Golden. That is the contact I will create so he calls me each time I use this.
- MonoDede, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3BUT WHO'S DO KNOW????
- illDecree, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3"Need a moment? Chew it over with a Twix!"
- mingistech, on 11/06/2008, -0/+3I guess you haven't figured out how to hide apps yet.... huh?
- neutronphaser, on 11/06/2008, -6/+9its
- Balanced, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2I think this works on all iPhone hardware. If your software doesn't support it, it's a free update.
- Shakermaker, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2There used to be a phone number in Canada that you could call, hang up, and a minute later would call you back....
...not sure if that number still exists. - JargonScott, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2We do this at work. Anytime one of us is cornered we send an IM with "2319" (from Monsters Inc) in it, so someone can call us and save the day. Would be nice to save yourself in the same fashion.
- aaron552, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2BUT WHO'S WAS PHONE?
- inigomntoya, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2Sorry officer, I have a phone call...
- milkshaker, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2Getting out of awkward moments like being caught eating something that fell on the ground that stretched the 5 second rule.
"Did you just eat that nacho that was on the carpet?"
"....[ring] WHAT JAMES? I'M ON MY WAY!" - centran, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2I got freaked out the first time I was listening to voicemail and then switched to call waiting to talk to a friend. I just hung up the call. I then received a call from myself! It had my number becuase if you hang up with the original call waiting line still connecting then your phone will call you back with that number. Since it was my voicemail it displayed my number.
- ErikEdge, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2The Sidekick series of phones from T-mobile had this along time ago. It even allows you to record the other half of the conversation in advance to further spoof the one you're trying to avoid. It does the whole thing from ring, to fake caller id display, as well as starts the call timer when you "answer" the phone. I use it to get out of meetings in the Army. We have a saying, "Death by Power Point".
- inigomntoya, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2From the title it sounded like Apple was forgiving JailBreakers or something...
- clarionhaze, on 11/06/2008, -1/+3a spot of bother?
- Kerrigore, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2This would be more useful if you could set the App to disguise itself as something else. Otherwise, potentially anyone who has access to see what apps you have on your phone might start getting suspicious about all those times you got a sudden emergency phone call and had to run off...
It would be especially useful for doctors, paramedics, or anyone else on-call, since they already have a ready-made excuse for getting urgent phone calls that won't arouse suspicion. - gforce051, on 11/06/2008, -0/+2What the *****?
- mrBitch, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2Zing!
- richbum888, on 11/06/2008, -1/+3fake calls hm?
