Discover our UK mobile plansHow it works
- Confirm your mobile. We text you a code. That proves it's your phone, so nobody can send calls to anyone else.
- Pick who's calling and when. In 5 minutes, or at a set time up to a week ahead.
- Answer and make your excuses. If anyone's listening, they'll hear a real voice with a real problem.
What they'll hear
Pick who calls. Ordinary problems work best: nobody questions a leaking boiler.
Hi, it's me. I'm really sorry to ring, but there's water all over the kitchen floor. I think the boiler's started leaking and I really don't know where the stopcock is. Are you able to come home?
Hey, it's me. I've only gone and locked myself out, and my phone is nearly dead. Is there any chance that you can come back and let me in? I'm so sorry, because I know you're busy.
Oh hi, it's me, the babysitter. Look, it's nothing serious, but the little one has got a bit of a temperature and keeps asking for you. Is there any chance that you can come home, please?
Hi, I'm so sorry to call you out of hours, but the system seems to have gone down and I really need you to dial in now. Is there any chance that you can get to the laptop?
Oh hi, it's me, your neighbour. Listen, your dog's been barking for just over an hour now, and it sounds really upset. Is there any chance that you can pop back and check on it?
The Hall of Fame
Bad dates, endless meetings, awkward parties. What people escaped.
“This is actually so helpful for someone like me who’s a bit antisocial”
“Bye bye to a boring party!”
“He talked too much that my brain started to hurt”
“He showed me 200 photos of his ex's dog. Not his dog. Hers! BYE”
“Didnt want to be rude & not attend the party, but the introvert in me wanted to escape soooo badly :)”

Questions
Is this a fake call app?
No app needed. Most fake call apps just show a pretend screen; this is a real call from a real UK mobile number, booked on this page, so it rings and sounds like the real thing if anyone is watching.
Is the bail-out call free?
Yes. There is no charge and no account. You confirm your mobile with a code we text you, and that is it.
Can I set up a call to someone else's phone?
No. We only ever call the number that typed in the code we texted, so nobody can use this to bother anyone else.
How many bail-out calls can I have?
One a day and three a week per mobile number. That keeps it free for everyone.
What will the other person hear?
If they are close enough to hear, they will hear an ordinary voice explaining a small problem at home or at work. It is a recording, so you just need to play along and say you have to go.
What number does the call come from?
Always 07536 940354. Save it in your contacts as Mum, Home or Work, whatever suits your story.
How far ahead can I book?
From 5 minutes to 7 days ahead. You can have one call booked at a time; to change it, cancel it and book again.
Do I need a new code every time?
No. Once your number is confirmed, we save it in an encrypted cookie on this phone for 30 days, so you can book straight away next time. The cookie stays on your phone, not on our system. Clear your cookies for tisa.one to remove it sooner.
What if my phone is on Do Not Disturb?
Save our number in your contacts and add it to your Favourites (starred contacts on Android). On iPhone and Android, calls from Favourites ring through Do Not Disturb and most Focus modes. Also check your ringer is not on silent.
Can I cancel a call?
Yes, at any time up to a minute before. Open this page on the same phone and tap Cancel.
Which phones does it work with?
Any UK mobile number, on any network. You do not need to be with TISA.
Is this for emergencies?
No. It is for awkward moments, not danger. If you feel unsafe, call 999. In many UK bars you can also ask staff for "Angela" and they will help you leave.
Do you keep my number?
Your booking: we keep your number, encrypted, only until your call is made, then it is deleted from our booking system. The cookie: the 30-day cookie that saves you a new code sits on your own phone, not with us. The limits: to stop abuse we keep a scrambled code that cannot be turned back into your number, deleted after 7 days. Separately, like any phone network, the networks that carry the call and the texts keep standard billing records as the law requires. Your number is never used for marketing, shared or sold.
Do you record the call?
No. The call plays a recording to you, but nothing you say is recorded.
Asked for your number by the wrong person?
Give them ours instead. The Rejection Line lets them down gently.
