Ever made a prank call?

[Shoko]

I have once, on my old boss which I despised. I had a bit of a laugh afterwards.

When I was eleven, I made one to some company in Iowa and asked to order chicken.

Last time I ever make a prank call

I haven't but my mate tried prank calling 118 188 and almost ended up buying a pizza from them

I once sort of did when I was 7 to my Grandma, if that counts.

Once to a McDonald's in America, it's via Skype, and it's for free, so why not?
Damn, they are hard to prank with, even if I'm serious, they politely deny further talk with me.

once when i was like 8 i made a prank call to 911

that is when i learned it's possible to trace phonecalls

 

[Ultraluigi]

911 call when i was a kid
i didn't really know what it did so I guess it wasnt that much of a prank

On the bus home from a band trip, a bunch of my friends decided to try calling 867-5309 with different area codes and ask for Jenny (which is my name so they thought it was hilarious). Turns out most places have discontinued that number, but they did get someone in Florida somewhere.

*67 is a mystical thing

Eh, I've always had the caller ID to any phone that's ever been called, so I can't do them

 

[Shyghoul]

i've never made one

probably never will

 

[New Super Mario]

Yes, plenty of times, but usually just to other friends using someone else's phone.

 

[Duskull]

I've never pranked called, but I have people's mobile numbers and they don't know it, so I have prank texted.

I thought it was *69.

Ahaha, that's funny. I wouldn't imagine it's been discontinued by this point.

Yes, via other people's phones.

Don't prank call random people you don't know, it just wastes everyone's time.

Yeah, especially if it's 911 and you're calling from a landline.

 

[2257]

what

 

[Garlic Man]

It's important that emergency response facilities know where calls are coming from, so they have the equipment to do so.

 

[Cackletta]

I called a random number that had my area code and said: "hello, this is the Milkman. How much milk is in YOUR household?"

 

[2257]

ok, thats a pretty fucking useful piece of advice

i'll be sure to alert my 8-year-old self next time i see him...?

 

[Garlic Man]

Don't know why you're so offended about the fact that I pointed out that 911 can easily trace locations out of necessity, but ok


Edit: You do realize that the first part of that post and the second part of the post are totally unrelated, right

hence the [ hr ]

^this part wasn't directed at you, 2257.

 

[Keqing]

yea man not everyone was reading law books when they were 8

 

[2257]

im offended because my panel of advisors assured me that it was the optimum emotion to feel in this situation. isn't that always why people get offended?

 

[banjonator1]

I thought it was *69.

Dirty, dirty, dirty.

No but in all seriousness I think both work as anonymisers. (sp?)

 

[Keqing]

its actually true for my cell phone its *69
