We’ve all had phone calls where we prayed for the call to drop. And we’ve all been in social situations where the other party just wouldn’t shut up and go away. Wouldn’t it be nice if a friend would call you at a time when you knew you’d be faced with a situation like that? Maybe you’re going on a blind date, and need a possible way out if it doesn’t go well. Maybe you know you’re going to be stuck talking to the boss’ wife, and need a well-timed interruption to save you. What do you do? You can always download the Fake Calls iPhone app.

Simulate calls with this great application! Have you ever been in the situation where you need the perfect excuse to get out of the room or step out of an annoying conversation? Easy: Open FakeCalls and within seconds or minutes the application will simulate a fake call. (No real calls are made; this is just simulation. Good news is: you are the only one who knows that!). Then answer the call, decline it or just let the phone ring to fake a missed call.

What if you don’t have an iPhone, or don’t want to buy the App? Check out Getmooh.

Getmooh is an automated call back service. It is designed to help you escape a variety of situations by calling you automatically on your phone at a pre-specified time and playing you a recording which will either instruct you on what to say to elude your tormentor(s), or which will simply give a convincing sense of you being on an important call.

So there you have two different ways to set up phone calls to help you get out of sticky or unwanted situations in a pinch, without losing face or having to be rude.
