Fake Conversation
Fake Conversation
Admittedly, there are plenty of apps that will simulate anrninbound phone call. But what sets this app apart is that it can help you torncarry on a convincing conversation. It plays prerecorded audio. You listen tornwhat is being said, repeat it, and then listen for the next prompt. To thosernaround you, it sounds like a legitimate phone call.
Most of the call scripts are geared toward impressingrnstrangers. Some are meant to fool others into thinking you’re a doctor, musicrnproducer, athlete, etc. There are also a bunch of fake voice mail messages you canrnplay to prank those around you.
Fake Conversation is available for iOS and Android.
