* This doesn't really work well with cell phones in real life, as (unlike with land lines) there is a noticeable lag between when one person speaks and the other one hears him. If they are close enough for one to physically approach the other, the strange delayed echo caused by the cell transmission would give away the game.
* Then again, maybe the reveal in the first few minutes is part of the joke. You're running late, your office calls you mobile while you're standing in their parking lot and asks "Are you coming in today?" to which you respond "I shall be in in a minute" before walking through the door and giving the game away (or, likewise, the repair garage is calling to say your vehicle is ready - when you're right next door and can just walk in while still on the line). Maybe a retail store is calling to say the items you'd backordered just came in... while you're in the store, standing right next to the caller. Bonus points if you're answering this as a Voice-over-IP call [[The Calls Are Coming From Inside the House|and just happen to be on their wi-fi network]] at the time.
