Samsung Phone Manual Tells Customers How to Fake Incoming Calls

Now that’s a feature made with users in mind: A Redditor spotted the above set of instructions in the manual for a colleague’s new Samsung phone, detailing how to make fake incoming calls to “get out of meetings or unwanted conversations.”

To make a fake call

*In Idle mode, press and hold the Navigation key down.

*When the keys are locked, press the Navigation key down four times.

Apparently this is a standard feature for many Samsung phones.
