Have you ever made prank phone calls?

Well, yes.  I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I think just about everyone did.  At least everyone I knew.  We didn't do it over and over again, maybe a couple times to someone.  Most still had dial phones for quite a while, LOL. 

No caller ID!!!

I STILL DO! LOL

when i was in 6th grade i hade a "clueless phone" and it had the thing were you could change your voice to high chipmunk or low crazy guy.. and well I remember calling all the "popular snobby" girls and telling them that I was watching them and that I could see what they were doing!! LOL.. It freaked them out so much they told the SRO officer.. NEVER AGAIN did i do it! Nor did I confess!!! LOL

Then another time I prank called a random number and talked to this woman for a good twenty minutes pretending to be her daughter!! I have NOOOO clue how I got all the names right of the people she actually knew.. but I did! It was great! I even told her "I LOVE YOU TOOMOM!!" poor lady! She was probably freaked out when she realized that it WASNT her daughter and a STRANGER!!! lol.. Good memories!

 I made one when I was about 8 years old.  Got caught and beat with the belt, that was the last time I made a prank call.

Yes, back in the day, we did make a few harmless prank phone calls... "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" ... or the old three calls tosame person, different voice "Is Richard there" .. answer "no" .. then "ok well can you tell him I called" .. hang up. Next time, we say "Hi this is Richard, do you have an messages for me?" laugh, laugh, snort, snort ... what seemed so freakin' funny then, seems really dumb now! lol

Today's prank phone calls that kids are making are a bit different ... there is a code you can use on your cell phone that makes your call show as restricted on the caller ID .. and then the caller can say whatever they want to you, and you won't know who they are ... unless you recognize the voice. Kids today, can be really cruel to each other when playing this game. It's a whole different ball game!

I did in high school. I called my best friends ex boyfriend and when his mom answered I gave a fake name and asked for my bra back, because my mom was getting suspicious that it was missing. I found out later he got grounded for that.

LOL, my friend and I did the random thing too.  We got some old Man that we actually called a lot and talked to him.  We never said who we were but he liked talking to us.  Now, that would probably be creepy but it wasn't then.  He never said anything perverted.
