Ever been stuck on an awkward call? Here’s how some folks turned that pain into a paycheck.
Your phone’s in your hand, and you’re staring at it like it owes you money. You know you need to make that call. Maybe it’s to say “I’m sorry” to your partner, break some tough news, or make a polite follow-up with a client. But the thought of hearing the phone ring feels…. heavier than lifting a bag of cement.
If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. A lot of us are “text-first” people.
But calls? Calls are where things get real, fast. That’s why someone, somewhere, had the genius idea to turn this awkwardness into a business: making calls for you.
For a fee, proxy call services let you dodge the nerves, the stumbles, and the risk of saying the wrong thing. Someone else handles it with just the right tone, words, and finesse. Sounds wild? It’s actually genius—and growing.
Let’s talk about it!
Spotlight Feature: “Call My Guy”
I’m 50-50 on phone calls. They’re pretty much a necessity, but if you called them awkward, emotional minefields, I’d be right behind you shouting, “Ride on Pastor!”. And it’s because of how emotionally charged they can get.
It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to apologize for wrongdoing or express love; a lot can go wrong. Before you know it, you’re stumbling over your words, and it’s all ehms and uhms. Nobody wants that.
Proxy call services take the stress off your shoulders. For as little as ₦1,500, they’ll make the call for you, whether it’s to smooth over a misunderstanding, deliver an awkward compliment, or even—if you’re bold—shoot your shot at a crush.
This isn’t just a quirky hustle. It’s a low-cost business with high potential. With over 200 million Nigerians, this business idea is as smart as it is unconventional. And with the growing demand for convenience, proxy call services are a simple solution to an age-old problem.

In summary, the most important thing is that you can pick it up on the most random days and make a killing!
