Hmmm... Vibrate usually isn't inaudible, especially at close range. If I'd been doing it... I'd have set up a script, run from cron, to send a text to my phone, and set the alert tone to be the same as my ring-tone. Or, better and more flexible, set things up so that she could send a text to a suitable address, that would trigger a message back to her after a delay. Or, if she's got a suitable phone (and it certainly looks big enough), just write an app to sound the ring-tone after a suitable delay.
What?

Hm. Or her phone has a "fake call" option. My phone does, and it's a really, really cheap mobile.

Is it a Samsung? After I made my post above, I googled "fake call app" and there are many available. Obviously it is a feature much in demand. Years ago, I recall a Dilbert strip in which Wally had built a fake pager to get him out of meetings, conversations, work etc. Life imitates art.

I was expecting a Bullwhip or a Japanese Clovers.

Akima: Yap, it is :) You even can record a fake message that is played as soon as you "pick up" the phone
