What is Prank Call: Fake Video Call?
Ever needed a quick escape from an awkward conversation or wanted to mess with your friends at a party? Prank Call: Fake Video Call is a prank call simulator that lets you fake incoming calls, video chats, and text threads with custom caller IDs, idols, or whatever character fits the bit.
You set up the caller details – name, number, ringtone – then trigger the call whenever you need it. The screen mimics a real incoming call, complete with answer and decline buttons. Video calls work the same way, pulling from a library that includes celebrities, cartoon characters, animals, and horror figures. For text pranks, you script the conversation yourself: sender name, message content, and timing all adjust to sell the gag. Schedule a call in advance if you want it to land at a specific moment, like mid-dinner or during a group hangout.
Key Features:
- Fake calls arrive with customizable caller IDs, so you control the name, number, and ringtone that show up on screen.
- Video call mode simulates live chats with idols, athletes, movie characters, or spooky figures, making your phone look like it's connected to someone real.
- Text pranks let you build fake chat threads from scratch, setting the sender, the message, and when each line appears.
- Scheduled calls let you plan a prank hours ahead, so it hits exactly when you want the interruption.
- The character library spans singers, superheroes, seasonal icons, cute animals, and aliens, giving you options beyond the usual celebrity roster.
Prank scenarios and timing
The app organizes its content into call types: standard voice pranks, video pranks, idol-focused setups, and message threads. Each mode pulls from the same customization tools, so switching between a fake boss call and a fake ghost video takes seconds. The scheduling feature is the practical edge here – you're not fumbling with your phone mid-prank. Set it, forget it, and let the fake call interrupt at the exact second you planned.
Other prank call apps
Fake Call – Prank offers a similar setup for scheduling fake incoming calls with custom details, while Prank Call Wonder focuses on pre-recorded audio scenarios you play during live calls. Prank Call: Fake Video Call leans harder into video and text modes, and its character library skews toward pop culture and horror over generic contacts.
Solid for killing time at a party or selling a fake emergency exit, though the novelty wears thin after a few uses. Ads show up between setups, which can telegraph the prank if someone's watching your screen.
