Schedule Fake Phonecalls

Here's a cool program I downloaded today that works really well. It allows you to set up fake phone calls to come into your phone, displaying whatever name and number you choose. Worked great for me today, as I have an annoying client that I call on who will talk my ear off forever unless I get a good excuse to get out of there.

LMAO! I used to have a very similar app on my Treo 700wx last year for the exact same reason. I was an independant IT consultant and always got held up at a few specific client's offices by non-stop talkers.

And even though I billed out at $90/hour, sometimes the money I made wasn't enough to make up for the loss of time in my life wasted on listening to the ramblings of a client who didn't know when to shut up.

I also used to use it to get out of family reunions/parties at a decent hour... always made it look like it was a client with an emergency that could not wait until the next morning.

In a word... no. It is of the cracked variety. I thought it was freeware and registered for an account only to find that it is not freeware.
