- wdewind 16y agoIt has already been done. I can't remember exactly, but I believe a Samsung phone came out in Korea recently that lets you hold a button on the side that fakes a phone call to you. No iPhone app yet though. Edit: screen shot of the samsung manual (apparently this is a feature on a lot of their phones): http://craphound.com/images/e7KOe.jpg http://craphound.com/images/e7KOe.jpg
- Splines 16y agoOf course, now that it's a standard feature everyone is going to wonder if you really had a phone call.

- petercooper 16y agoBack in the early 90s when portable cellphones were still not particularly common, my uncle used to get his secretary to call him whenever he was in a meeting with a potential client to both make him look busy and, supposedly, important enough to carry such a phone. Say what you will about the technique but he's now barely 50, retired and buying up woodland like there's no tomorrow..
- jonsen 16y agoMy sister once told me a story from those days. She was on a ferry and noticed this obviously important man walking around speaking loudly holding one of those new cellphones to his ear. She was very amused by his bewilderment when his phone suddenly rang.
