Fake Call

Your phone rings — for real, exactly when you want it to. CallTimer is the most realistic fake call experience you can install. Schedule a real incoming call to your own phone, ahead of time. Pick the moment, and at the scheduled second your phone rings through your normal lock screen — looking and sounding like any other call. Because it is one. Use it to: • Step out of a date that isn't going well • Cut a meeting short without an explanation • Leave a family dinner with grace • Excuse yourself from any awkward situation • Wake yourself up with a real phone call instead of a regular alarm • Set a reminder that you absolutely cannot miss — WHY CALLTIMER IS DIFFERENT Most fake call apps just play a ringtone and show an in-app screen. People around you can tell. CallTimer is different — the call comes through the real telephony network, so your phone rings on the lock screen exactly like a real call. Because it is one. Unlike a typical pretend call or call simulator that stops at the in-app screen, CallTimer arrives as an actual incoming call on your device. It works when the app is closed, on the lock screen, while your phone is on silent. Anywhere a real call would arrive, this one arrives the same way. — FEATURES • Real incoming call, not a UI mockup • Works when the app is closed and the screen is locked • One-tap save our calling number to your iOS Contacts under any label — iOS displays that label on the incoming call • Schedule by minute, hour, or a specific date and time • Cancel any scheduled call anytime before it rings • Built for escape, alibi, and rescue use cases • Works as a high-certainty real-life alarm or reminder when a regular alarm just isn't reliable enough — PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN CallTimer can only ring your own verified phone number. We confirm your number with a one-time SMS code at signup. This means CallTimer cannot be used to call or harass anyone else — only your own phone, only when you ask it to. To be clear: this is not a prank call tool pointed at other people. It is a personal scheduled-call tool pointed at you. — START FREE Get 1 complimentary call when you sign up. Try the realism for yourself, then choose a credit pack that fits how often you'll use it. Each scheduled call uses 1 credit. — QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK We'd love to hear from you. Reach us anytime through the in-app support menu — we read every message. — TERMS & PRIVACY Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://imzapp.com/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Cloud PBX at none against Fake Call's 3. Fake Call's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
