Hi all. What are some of your stories of prank calling that you have done? I use to call people and ask for Mike Hunt, hairy dick, and stuff like that. It was funny at the time but I wouldn't do such things now. I also use to call people and hang up but before I hung up I'd say something smart into the phone. I once prank called 911 once but got caught because they put a charge on our phone bill. Oh here's another one: I use to call sex hotlines when I was little. Well one day my parents got this really huge phone bill. Well I convinced them that I didn't do it. Well that night there was a story on the news about people tapping into the phonelines and using sex hotlines to run up your bill. Well needless to say, that story saved my butt.

Never prank called anyone. Parents caught sis or I doing such a thing we'd be banned from the phone for a long time. Also during those tempting days to wanting to prank people, we'd never do because at that time caller id was just now on the market and people using it. Yeah you prank someone, risk your butt being caught by the person calling you back and your folks picking it up.

Yeah, I used to prank call people. I loved asking for people in weird voices, just calling and hanging up and so on. I also used to play around on this hotline for dating and stuff. I'd go on the live chat and mess around with guys who would be getting theirselves off. It was halarious. One guy wanted to meet up with me. It was crazy. I don't do that stuff anymore though.

Well well well well well, Sullydog how many times in your post to this topic do you begin a sentence with that much overused conjunction? now back to the plot: I have topped you all in the prank calling stakes I'm afraid. I telephoned the Whitehouse and convinced US security that I was Prince charles. I have also been Tony blair on the radio, as well as former leader of the opposition william Hague. I also phoned up a sports phone-in as former England cricketer Mike atherton, who's quite famous over here, and phoned up Microsoft as George W bush to ask where the any key was on the computer keyboard.

Indeed I am, yes. It was great fun! I must admit, though, that after having penetrated the heart of the Whitehouse I got a bis scared and hung up before I got to the top man. Not that I would have, of course.

dang I remember calling 911, and what did they do? of course returned call since I called, and then hang up. So my dad goes to the phone and talks to the lady... aww. Well and I remember I called a lot to who wants to be a millonaire and well, boy, $300 bill, I called one of my friends and did pretend their water bill was going too high and that they should pay $20000 if they still wanted the service up. I don't remember others but sure, a lot of them

I have also written time-wasting emails and here is a Lawlordian classic: To the prime minister, Mr Tony Blair MP. Dear Mr blair, given that it is election day on Thursday and we're going to the polls, do you think it would be advisable to wear coats? I remain, sir, yours etc.

LL, my image of you is scarred for life! JKJKJK! Well I've always wanted to prank call, just once, and block my number so no one could see it was me, but I'm too scared of getting caught, in trouble, yelled at, etc. Lol.

Yeah you do have to be careful. I fear my prank calling days must now be consigned to the history books.

I shoudl also add that it is never a good idea to prank call the emergency services. I only say so because some people have said they've dialed 9 1 1. Don't do it, it wastes scarce resources. Not even the Lawlord ever considered winding up the emergency services.

Okay, this isn't the most interesting prank call story, but I think it's the only one I have. Well, I had just gotten my new cell phone. So not many people knew the number. Well, I had the number of my step brother as the first number in my phone book, as his name is Andy, and therefore came first in alphabetical order. So, when I had nothing to do, I would randomly select his number, and call it. Then when I would hear his cell phone ring (he was with us at the time), I would hang up. Once I did this, and he decided to call me back and see who I was. He never thought for a second that it was me. So, he called me, and said something to the effect of, "You've called my number over and over for the last few days, and I was wondering who you are." My response was, "Who do you think it is, Andy?"

Hey, I just called my friend John Nolan, and his cell was off, so my sister and I decided to leave a totally retarded message...

Cindy: Hello! One of your best friends is calling. If you don't pick up the phone this instant, she will be flushed down the toilet!
(The toilet flushes.)
Me: Aaahhh! Aaahhh! Oh, my God, somebody help me!

ROTFLMAO! Yes, I know it's stupid. Was my first prank call, though. Hahahaha!...
