Answer 1

Its people like you who waste time out of people's important day. Leave people alone. And yes you can get into trouble. Especially if they have your phone number in the caller idea. Grow up why don't you.

Answer 2

Depends on what the prank call is and where you live. Here in DC, if you call the White House and make certain threats, you'll be in jail in about 5 minutes. If it's just one of those "Is your refrigerator running?" "Then go and catch it!" types, it's probably not going to get reported.

Telephone prank calls are a thing of the past thanks to the newer technology that makes it really trivial to track who made the call. Even with calling cards making you anonymous, they can track to the phone that used the calling card.

Answer 3

~~~now days its pretty hard to make prank phone calls due to caller ID. And I would say depending on how drastic a call you make, for example if you threaten someones home or person. That will get you in jail. But the old " is your refridgerator running? Well you better go catch it" you propbably woulnt get arrested, but may get a talking to from the police if you get caught: for harrasment. ahhh the good ol days,,,,,good old fashioned party lines, and harmless prank phone calls,,,,,think those days are pretty much over,,,,modern technology,,,gota love it,,,,

As some have suggested on right here you may get into some difficulty per how some distance the sufferer is keen to take it, and what's asserted in the process the call. Threats at the instant are quite severe. additionally, calls that reason emergency workers to be stated as are taken heavily as they could endanger the existence of a guy or woman who quite desires them. With technologies as that's, it quite is not tricky to locate you whether you block your Caller identity suggestion. IP suggestion could be tracked and the police can quite get direct touch suggestion and handle suggestion out of your information superhighway provider service and VoIP service to persist with up investigations. some cases could fall below criminal expenditures and could be seen information superhighway fraud. Others could value harassment. while you're calling companies, they could prefer to report expenditures and sue you with courtesy for lost sales. it may become high priced for you and could additionally circulate away you with a criminal checklist.

Answer 5

Ok just give up the act that you didnt actually do one..anyway it depends on what you did, if you called someone and didnt really do anything bad then its probably ok and also what the persons temper is, if you call someoen who will easily get called they could call the cops and you might get in some trouble.

Answer 6

depends on who you call the nature of the call. If you look in the front of your phone book it will talk about harrassing/malicious calls. It is not a joke, and if you happen to place a prank call on a telephone repair man. Expect to be called back. One kid made that mistake with me, his mother wasnt to happy after i got done having the call traced.

Answer 7

yes, you can get in trouble, I would dial, it was either *69 or *67 b4 the number, as that makes it so the person you prank cannot trace your call. I would use your cell phone to prank them with, as it is hard to track cell phone calls. Good luck!

Answer 8

Where I live, kids get talked to...adults go to jail under the charge of harassment which can carry up to 30 days.

Answer 9
