Terms of Use
Effective October 31, 2026. These terms cover callbail.com and the in-browser fake call simulator. By using either one, you agree to them.
- CallBail shows a simulated incoming call on your own screen. It never dials a real number.
- Use it to leave a situation politely or safely. Never use it to defraud, harass, stalk or harm anyone.
- It is not an emergency service. In danger, call 911.
- The site and simulator are provided as they are, without warranties.
What CallBail is
CallBail is an iPhone app, still in development and not yet on the App Store, that displays a fake incoming call so you can step away from a meeting, a date or a conversation that has run its course. This website explains the idea and includes a browser simulator you can try. Nothing on this site is a phone service, and no real call is placed to anyone.
Using the site and simulator
You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please do not copy it wholesale, scrape it at scale, attempt to break or overload it, or interfere with how it works for other visitors. The CallBail name, logo, original text and artwork belong to us. You may quote short excerpts with a link back. CallBail is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. The simulator is its own screen inside your browser and does not change or replace the real iPhone Phone app.
Prohibited uses
You agree not to use CallBail, the simulator or anything you learn from this site to:
- commit fraud, or trick someone into handing over money, goods, access or personal information;
- harass, threaten, intimidate or bully another person;
- stalk, monitor or track someone, or help someone else do so;
- pose as a real person, a government official, a police officer or an emergency service in order to deceive or harm;
- deceive anyone in a way meant to cause them harm, distress or loss;
- break any law, or help someone else break one.
If you do any of these, you are responsible for the consequences. We may also report serious misuse to the authorities.
A fake call can buy you a graceful exit. It cannot summon help. If you are in danger or someone needs medical attention, call 911 (or your local emergency number) right away. Our personal safety guide explains where a simulated call fits and where it does not.
Responsible use
The everyday purpose is small and human: ending an awkward chat, leaving a long meeting, or getting out of a situation that feels off. Keep the caller names to ordinary, generic labels such as a friend or family member, and do not name a real person in order to mislead someone about who you are. Our guides on leaving an awkward conversation and faking a phone call describe low-stakes uses. A white lie to exit a coffee chat is one thing. Using a fake call to deceive someone so you can hurt them is not allowed here.
No warranty
The site and simulator are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suited to a particular purpose, or that a simulated call will look convincing on every device or in every situation. The app is unreleased, so descriptions of it on this site describe our plans and may change before launch.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, CallBail and its makers are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any loss that arises from how you or others use the site or simulator, including awkward moments that did not resolve the way you hoped. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
Privacy
How we handle information is covered in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site and the app evolve. The effective date at the top shows the latest version, and continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. When the app launches, it may come with its own additional terms, and we will link them here.
